Anchors Seminar
Have you been climbing awhile and are unsure of
your protection placements or anchors? Do
you tend to construct the same anchor rigging
for every situation? This one day course
focuses on placing protection and constructing
anchors for top roping, single pitch climbing
or multipitch. First, you will learn how
to select the proper type and size of artificial
gear given the rock. This progresses to
tricks for placing protection and evaluating your
placements. Next you will create a variety
of anchor matrixes using slings, cordelettes,
and rope. More than just rigging an anchor,
you will develop the skills for determining the
best anchor rigging and load distribution.
The benefits from this course include:
Understand how protection works
Which type and size of protection to use
Confidence in evaluating the protection
Be able to construct a variety of anchors using a cordelette, slings, or rope
Be able to control force distribution in an anchor
Evaluate the anchor for safety
This is a one-day
seminar. Participants should bring their
own equipment, but more equipment will be available
to experiment with other types of gear.
