Srt top anchor point - question

[Wooden Hand]

I actually give thought to most everything I do. Never trust your life to something you can't see. If you are not 100% sure, take another shot. A good suspension point should easily support 2x your climbing weight. The force multiplier has mitigaters in the form of friction and rope angles.

One of the great things about base anchors is being able to use the tree's structure to your advantage. When you open up your rope angles by catching more then one crotch, you are not only reducing the force multiplier but you are reducing the side loading on those branchs and, instead, loading them more in comprehension. Much stronger, offers redundancy, and potentially keeps the base leg out of your work area.

Good sentence, I'll pinch that one.

 

I wish sometimes that we had a standard model of tree when talking, the image in your head doesn't correspond to mine.

 

Capturing 1 anchor is not inherently less safe than capturing more...and vise versa.

grab your groundy and both have a good ol swing n bounce on any anchor be it single rope or double.

 

 

Exactly what we do. Also, if we can't see the anchor it's try try try again.
