  • Good video, and I use the web-o-lette style using tied webbing myself, but understand is it a weaker configuration versus a cordalette. The single strand legs have considerably less strength than the double stand leg. This may not be an issue in many applications such as canyoneering, but something to consider if a factor 2 fall is possible.

  • @werner111 Water knots (same as a overhand) are the most common knot used in webbing, but other knots can be used.

  • Whats the reason for just an overhand knot? Is it because it's using webbing?

  • great video. this was exciting to find.

  • nice vid! sound setup, personally(and its just me) i prefer SG krabs on the gear just to be sure, but snapgates are totally fine if in a bind, but if i have the SG's i use them. nice vid well done!

  • I like it. Maybe figure 8's would be easier to untie, but also have less of a chance to roll over and come out- that's fairly unlikely though. If this was pitch 2 of 3 (or more) I would add a pice of gear to make the anchor directional...

    Good video- where is the climb? Sounded like Delaware Water Gap in NJ with route 80 just below haha...

  • you could save a lot of hassle untying this anchor, if it was weighted, by using figure 8's on bights in stead of overhands.
