My Top Rope Anchor Last Weekend - Please critique and help me get better

Anchor Rigging |

Dont listen to me but I may have used a sling to connect the two points together and put in a magic X with limiter knotts. The x would equalize it and the knotts would limit extension and add redundency. |

To equalize and be redundant: |

If you added a picture, I might think any of this is actually worth something. |

Sorry Luke. I didn't think about taking a picture at the time of my anchor building or teardown. I got the answer I wanted. I did not take the last step and connect the two points with a sliding x. That's all I needed to think through. |

How about webbing at both the tree and the boulder/crack. Then secure each end of 40 feet of cord (two sections connected with fishermans) to the webbing (locking biner or draws). Equalize at edge, tie a 'super figure eight' and locking biner(s) for the masterpoint. Equalized, redundant. (The knot connecting the two lengths of cord might get in the way of your masterpoint.) This way, you can save your slings. |
