Arc'teryx athlete Roger Strong gives a great demo of how to build a V-Thread anchor, and demonstrates the surprising strength of this efficient rappel system.

Great demo....maybe you should consider what would happen to the 2 guys testing the anchor IF it broke...looks like a pretty steep forrested slope behind them...

take into account that this V-thread is built on WI which is easier than building V-threads on AI. placing ice screws is also way easier on WI than on alpine ice

@cbcbd Exactly, you are correct, static load means a load on the binner/slings. The load is much harder compared to a dinamic load in a fall.

@marchanselman I know what you are saying but what I think he is saying is that the system he is tied into is static - sling/biner - unlike loading it while tied into a climbing rope.

I think you are confusing the terms static and dynamic.
