UKC

I've been looking for climbing anchor information online and came across a pretty good link I thought I'd share with anybody who is interested.

http://www.rescuedynamics.ca/articles/pdfs/EarnestAnchors3.pdf

There are so many pdf downloands for climbing anchors, but I think this is one of the best I've seen so far.

In reply to Wile E. Coyote: 'Right click - save as' works best I think.

Here is another

In reply to Wile E. Coyote:
Good find, cheers!

In reply to Wile E. Coyote:
That first link is great. I'm just learning this stuff at the moment, so thank you

In reply to blanchie14c & DreadyCraig: You're welcome

In reply to Wile E. Coyote: To be honest I'm not vastly impressed. It's typically American in its techniques and actually offers very little to any UK climbers. There is very little that is any real use for either UK recreational climbers or instructors (SPA or MIA/MIC holders) and the vast majority of the discussion will just complicate most peoples understanding of the more standard UK techniques. There is certainly some utility to those guiding if they wish to use cordlettes but that's about it.

In reply to Wile E. Coyote: I think it's fair to say that that document contains as much information on the topic as you could ever learn by reading alone.

I'm not sure about the inline anchors joined by clove hitches though - why not just use a standard Y hang with parallel strands?
