    looks like a great way to test out the flex in your suspension! Just place a tire over the hole, and when it come up you will quickly find out if you have enough flex or not!!

    We use snow bollards alpine climbing for both anchors and rappel points.

    In mountaineering, a bollard is a large pile of snow or a block of ice shaped to form a secure anchor point. The size of a bollard anchor varies depending on the snow condition. Larger size is preferred for new snow which is soft and loose. While bollards can be quite strong, they are time consuming to build and not as commonly used as flukes, pickets, ice screws and Abalakov thread.

    I believe they are also used on docks for anchoring ships.

    A bollard, a name inherited from the Norman-French name Boulard still often found in Normandy,[citation needed] is a short wooden, iron or stone post used on a quayside for mooring ships. Mooring bollards are seldom exactly cylindrical, but typically have a larger diameter near the top to discourage mooring warps (docklines) from coming loose. Single bollards sometimes include a cross rod to allow the mooring to be bent into a figure eight.
