About this deal

to carry out administration, marketing, planning, fraud detection and loss prevention activities, procurement, product and service development, quality control and research to improve the way we provide products and services to you; and Cordelette Anchor: it’s one way to connect more than two anchor points when using static equalization. To make it, you need an 18-20 ft. long section of about 7 to 8-millimeter Perlon accessory cord that you tie into a massive loop with a double fisherman’s knot. 2) Self-equalization All the rules for traditional placements still apply, but anchor-building calls for extra awareness. A hanging belay must be strong enough to deal with all of these potential forces, with the added consideration of the belayer’s own weight added to the system.

Try to make sure that at least two of the pieces in your hanging belay will withstand a pull in the direction of the next pitch. This is usually an upward pull.A purpose-built PAS like the Metollius PAS 22, Connect Adjust, or Sterling Chain Reactor is perfect if you prefer to have a specific tool for a specific job. When we climb on a rope, we often climb at or beyond our limit (unlike lead climbing for example). To that end, when we rig a bottom-rope or top-rope system we rig it knowing that it will very likely be tested and loaded. With this in mind get into a habit of working on a ‘belt and braces’ basis. There are two primary choices for equalizing anchors; self-equalization and also static equalization. 1) Static equalization

Leave the anchor cordelette clipped directly into one piece, ideally your strongest piece. Now take the other end of the cordelette and tie two separate clove hitches to connect the other two pieces into this end. Try to equalize the load between the two pieces on this end of the cordelette. Elaborate testing has been conducted on equalization, extension, and the various compromises between. The equalette and the quad have both gained followings in various applications. Various companies sell pre-cut cordelettes, but often the most reliable option is to head to your local gear store and buy the length you want.But think about it, how do you know if the anchor you are clipping is safe? How many times have you found yourself at the top of a redpoint desperately trying to clip the 'chains', only to find a carabiner that is difficult to use? The most crucial thing when connecting the anchor point is equalization; it helps evenly distribute the load. As you’ll discover, anchor-building is a game of compromises — the perfect anchor doesn’t exist, and that’s okay. We just need anchors that effectively manage risk within our practical limitations. This one was sent by my brother, who saw it outside Asheville, NC. The climbing anchor consists of two slings, doubled over with a carabiner between them. I’m guessing the person felt that doubling the slings over somehow either made them stronger or redundant, though it does neither. But they could have actually created redundancy either by separating the slings and tieing them full-length side-by-side, or leaving the slings doubled over and tying a knot in both of them! Example 3: For years, we’ve been loyal to principles that are scientifically inaccurate, encourage us to miscalculate the strength of our anchor, and force us to make convenient exceptions to principles like “no extension.” And while these acronyms enabled a generation of anchor builders to solve basic anchoring problems, in more complex scenarios these principles can easily become a liability.
