I've recently started climbing again and althought not wanting to run beofe I can walk I'd like to read some practicle info on setting up climbs like anchors etc...

I'm waiting for a book to come through on it but it won't be in for another 3-4 weeks and wondered if anyone knew and good sights with info, diagrams, etc...

so if it seems a silly question for most.

Cheers

Wander down to the liberary or a local bookshop and get a copy of "Modern rope techneques" It covers everything you need to know and more.

The good thing you may not have used in the past is the cordelette to link multiple anchor points to a master point quickly and easily
