Rope setup at the top
|
|
Hey everyone. I am pretty new and I wanted to know if this setup seams reasonable for the rope to be set up at the top when you want to do a lap. Thanks! |

Looks too complicated. If I'm seeing things correctly you have 2 extendable quickdraws still short and then 2 more which are extended. The 2 that are extended don't look like they're doing anything and are not necessary. 2 quickdraws opposite and opposed are good enough. If you're really worried you can make one/both locker draws. |

Looks somewhat messy, I have difficult time figuring out what is going on Here is what a typical TR sport anchor would look like - the top two setups https://www.karstendelap.com/blog/sport-climbing-anchors-which-set-up-is-best One "modification" that I would suggest - use steel lockers/carabiners for TR anchor, there will be less wear on them, the rope will be cleaner. If full steel is too heavy, Edelrid has 'bulletproof' series of carabiners with steel inserts |

It looks like the carabiners of the lower alpines are clipped to each other and the rope? They also don't appear to be opposite and opposed. Fix these two issues and remove the extended alpines and you're good Edit: on a second look it seems as though the carabiners are not clipped to each other, just crossed weird |

As others said the long draws aren’t necessary but if you are going to use them, shorten them up by taking a few wraps around the biner. You want to avoid the way that lower biner is going to be cross loaded. Make sure the biners at the rope end have gates opposed. |

phylp phylpwrote: A trolling bot? Clever. I'd like to see one bot calling out another. "You phony!" That would be ironic. :) |
