We built a TR anchor toward the outside of The Pinch using a +/- 100' static rope and two nearby trees. Building the anchor above this climb is exposed with loose rocks. Suggest building the anchor while on a tied-off rappel anchored to trees above. Having two people work together to build the anchor helps as well. Apr 13, 2020
