My first time belaying the climber had to do this. As someone who had barely climbed before I was so confused as to what on earth they were hanging out at the top for.
Locking quickdraw is overkill. Just use a normal quickdraw. You're tied into the rope at all times

only if you are always fully loading the draw. If your in a stace where you are fuly loading the draw. If you unweight it at any point there is a chance it could unclip itself, snap gates can do funny things, Watch JB mountain skills has a video discussing how he was using a quickdraw and it came undone sending him flying down to his next bolt. lockers are for extra saftey.
The quickdraws are opposite, but not opposed as is the common practice like others have mentioned. It can be difficult to clean up this quick draw anchor if/when your weight is on the rope. And you always want to weight the new knots before cleaning your anchor. So unless you have a nice ledge to stand on, which you dont always have, this doesnt work for me. I always use at least one sling with an autolocker to one of the bolts if they're chained together, or both bolts if they're not connected.
Swift and effective method 👌🏼 Have sling attached to belay loop instead. Much quicker.
Locking carabiner QD seems like overkill to me as well in this scenario, since you are always on belay, but to each their own.
Agreed with the metal on metal even though they both may be aluminum. You did clip the draws with the gates facing in when it typically is practiced with the gates facing out.

We practice not lowering on rappel rings or the chains
Recently got into an argument with someone on instagram who thought this method was completely unacceptable. I explained to him how this is considered redundant and many popular sport climbing areas advocate for lowering instead of rappelling to minimize accidents. He responded “you’ve only gotten this far on luck” and accused me and my company of spreading dangerous practices to our clients and that he feels sorry for anyone who books with us. All this coming from someone with apparently 25+ years of backcountry experience but obvious gaps in his single-pitch knowledge. Can we please keep these elitist, close-minded attitudes out of climbing? Understanding cannot occur when we refuse to think critically and discuss ideas.

Yeah, understand there’s going to always be this subgroup of people that thing there’s only one way to do everything and everyone else is wrong and they are overly assertive. With that in mind and accepting it can’t be changed, how can you (and I) change our approach. One way I do it is I simply don’t engage with these goofy arguments, I’ll explain why I do something a certain way and then if the other person isn’t remaining constructive I kind of just shrug my shoulders and move on vs try to convince them… I think not allowing these stonewall conversations to escalate will help at least with people feeling like they can ask questions and share knowledge without raising their adrenaline. It’s definitely a tough one in a sport with a lot of egos

@@cesarfer3181 you are welcome to rappel if that is something you and your partner agree on. But in many areas, anchors are built with quick links that allow components that wear out to be easily and inexpensively replaced. In that situation, it's usually faster and less risk to lower off. Both methods can be acceptable depending on local circumstances and your preference.

That rope will kink like crazy if you lower from an anchor like this
@nelinno04
Жыл бұрын
Typically not when there's a ring on a quicklink and typically not on anything vert or overhung. I've lowered off of anchors like the one here plenty and never had noticeable rope twist. The ring on the quicklink makes it way harder to pin the rope on the wall, which induces those kinks. Open to listen if you've got counterexamples though.
Are you concerned about the metal on metal? I'd be nervous to cause damage to draws that ropes run through on TR.

Not in this application. Burrs formed by sharp steel hangers scratching into aluminum soft carabiners is one thing. Here you have a soft aluminum locker that is smooth on a soft aluminum non locker that’s also smooth… it’s like the porch swing at your house, you aren’t gonna form sharp edges with that.

Also if you always thread the rope through the bend gate (rigid carabiner placement with a rubber insert) and anchor through straight gate (loose carabiner placement), the rope never even hits the grooves made by metal-on- metal. One biner for the rope, one biner for the anchor.

Suit yrself I would never do this
With this method you’re secured by the rope and the belayer the whole time. Then I really don’t need to be fully redundantly secured by the quickdraws. In fact most times I just a single standard quickdraw. Depends on the situation though. Exposure, steepness, footholds. Another point is that the rings need to be large enough to accept a double rope bight even when there’s a biner attached in it.

Generally if I'm setting up a TR anchor like this I avoid clipping the rap rings, both to make it easier to pass a bight, but also to avoid metal-to-metal contact on rope bearing surfaces. I'm probably more anal about it than is really required, but I also usually don't setup an anchor on normal drawer, I usually use a sewn rope sling in a ponytail setup (beal makes a very nice dynamic rope sling I use for this purpose) with some nice thick diameter steel autolockers, so you could clip the masterpoint or the shelf and do a similar thing. Most of the popular crags near me also have fixed fifi hooks instead of rap rings which makes removing the anchor much easier.

Why not do it without the two quickdraws? Seems unnecessary.
Only issue is your draws are now pinched under the rope and you may have to unweight it to clean them
Are rings as safe as ‘biners?
Is it a competition of doing it as fast as possible? Think on that.
I wouldn't be clipping another quickdraw into the snap gates used for the rope

Nothing… it’s just takes longer and now you gotta where a bunch of things on your belay loop on the climb. This way is more efficient and you don’t have to do the climb with lanyards in your lap.
Cccrag ccclean. That's all folks!
I add my self to the critics of: 1.- Metal to metal where your rope is going to go through. 2.- Absence of redundancy/oposite hms for your rope. 3.- Anchor your system directly to the bolts, your personal anchoring to the first link of chain and your last belaying rope to the last link of the chain

1. Where the rope feeds is an aluminum draw on a hard steel. The aluminum should cause no burrs or defect of any kind. 2. I honestly don't know what you mean. At no point here is he off belay and using a locker to lower is fine 3. Lovely to have rules, but anchors vary so much in set-up that I don't see a reason for a rule like this over the general principle of "make it easy to set up, unable to be levered in weird ways, and easy to clean". I've encountered poorly angled hangers at anchors that could snap a biner if you clipped directly into them and took a fall.

For sure... what if you can't see the anchor? I'd rather have a more traditional anchor with two lockers then quick draws. Or if you are setting up multiple top ropes and need your quick draws to climb more routes. Or if the route is wandering. Or if you are going to have like 20 people climb a route for the day... a more robust anchor would be appropriate... so lots of instances.
Pas...
Rap rings shouldn’t be lowered off.
No need for a locker
Always rapell down. You're wearing out those rings by lowering off them. If everyone did that, eventually one person would be the last to do it

Terrible advice. Rappelling is one of the most dangerous parts of climbing, tons of climbing management orgs recommend lowering and gear their areas accordingly. Easily 90%+ of sport crags in the US are geared for lowering, yes the gear will "wear down" but it will take many many many years, and will get replaced before it is unsafe.
