however i have some follow up questions after that video. im comfortable with anchors but what i wasnt sure was where the belay device was to be attached, to the belayer or to the anchor. i guess wasnt clear on what i was asking. from it actually im pretty familiar with anchor building (equallettes, cordulettes, sliding x, etc.). Thanks, i have freedom of the hills and i love it. I'm not completely sure what you mean by how you set them up. Personally, on two good bolts, I like to anchor with the rope or a sliding x (some terms to start with). It's not rocket science, but it is your life line. PatCleary wrote:Freedom of the Hills, Long's anchors book, and maybe a more experienced buddy to show you howo to build an anchor. 3) how do we setup an anchored belay from the top of the pitch (examples of the belayer standing/sitting on a ledge above or below the master point as well as the belayer hanging below the master point are what I'm looking for) be very specific in your explanation please 2) what kind of equipment do we need to set up belay anchors, (I already have tons of 1 inch nylon tubular webbing, 6 quickdraws, atc, grigri, three locking beaners and one pearbeaner). 3 questions: 1) is that a stupid idea, because I haven't heard of anyone else doing it. We had the idea of climbing single pitch sports at our level and having the lead belay the second up to the anchor (as would be necesary in a multi pitch climb hence the "mock") and then we both repel down from there. But I told my friend that we should practice our rope technique for a few months before we do that. We are quite ambitious and want to tackle a multi pitch sport climb. We have not begun trad but have been sport climbing for the past two months.
