2 bolt anchor

So after reading this again the only thing I can find is - equalization. Is all this hoopla about that? When you take your cordalette you anticipate where the rope is going to run and equalize it there. Job donezo. If the gear is any bit marginal enough that this is not OK, then you shouldn't be climbing there and you haven't acheived the fundamental 'S' in SRENE anyway.

What I have learned from this thread is this- the quad is a great way to set up a TR on some route that is going to get gang banged for a few hours.

learn something new every day!

So what we learned is:

before you gang bang, use some protection!

Even if it is a lamb-skin recycle.

Oldies are goodies

It's also pretty obvious that there are a few people on this sight pretty involved in the natural selection process.

2 bolts....PAS or a sling or the rope

Or anything, sport anchors are invented to be a redundant system as is, hence the second bolt. By getting redundant on a redundant system, well, you get it: it's stuper redundant.

I like redundancy, it sounds so like it's long lost cousin: retardancy.

Let's get redundant in here: ooooh yea!!!
