There has always been doubt regarding the accuracy of the story where
the bolt supposedly failed.  In any case the design was changed to
absolutely positively prevent bolt failure.  I have two Spade anchors
and regard them both as the best all around anchors I have ever used.

What is the consensus on aluminum versus steel?  Does it make sense to go 
with a larger aluminum Spade anchor or a heavier but smaller steel one?
