Quad anchor sling Additional questions: Sep 27, 2019 ยท Nylon sling, 2 arm anchor, one arm clipped, failure at 15 kN. From here I have a way to create redundancy by clipping myself to the masterpoint of the quad rather than a single bolt. You should always make the best anchor you can with what you have. It's probably NOT a good idea to use this as the first clip for the next pitch. The quad is one type of anchor, but it’s not the be-all-end-all anchor and you may find yourself in situations where it may not be suitable. Clip the doubled ends into your protection carabiners. Basically, once the ends are clipped together it’s identical to a normal sling. On the up, the locker doubles as the locker for my ATC in guide mode, the prusik can double as an extra sling if I run out. To make a quad anchor: Take your cordellete and double it up so you have four equal-length strands. Your quad anchor could be a large length of cord (usually 7mm) tied in a big loop cordelette style, or the new school “mini quad” typically made with a 180 cm runner, as we cover in this tip here . lngvjhgmetomjsvhemrsmhopjdryqqxiwzhtdezoxequbzvgpxhxhspzkdlyrpgp
