Rock climbing seems far too dangerous for my delicate sensibilities

I like the cut of your jib Garrett.  I’m the same way. Though not as serious….I’m lucky to catch a single buoy with 15 off these days.

Bold of you to assume I like the quad anchor. Or that we have bolts at DL

Not at all assuming, sorry if that's how it sounded.

Just saying that most anchors with identifiable flaws are still not lethal situations.

And thanks for urging them to look into some professional education...

Oh how I love tipped out cams in loose blocks, tri-axial loaded non-lockers, and whatever that master point is doing. “Pre-tied quad enjoyer” behavior

another classic, tons of cordage, yet chained together in sketchy, shortened sections.

Slung the block on the right.  Later I heard rattling when I reached in to pull out the line.

Hope you left the little guy alone!

I know that guy! Heard he gives a good soft catch 

Not DL, but at the Winona Ice Park. Where there are already established anchors on the climbs. I think one can assume which group has to have 3 individual webbing strands to make the anchor “safe”

I've come to expect some good entertainment whenever someone pulls webbing from a pack.
