  • Nice Video. Shame about the mad music in the background which means you can't hear what he's saying.

  • Nice, one of the few well put together systems I've seen online. Only thing to be careful of (for those watching): if you are attached to one of the lines of the anchor, make sure that you aren't pulling it in any funky direction when you equalize with the clove hitch. This will cause slack on the side that you are attached to, and lead to excessive loading on the anchor point with the clove hitch. If you have enough rope, it may be better to have a completely separate safety line. Stay safe!

  • I thought you weren't supposed to use any dynamic pieces when setting an anchor?
