Folks if you are not a trained Climbing Director, or C.O.P.E. Director please, please do not use this system. Setting bombproof anchors takes training and experience.

 

For those to who this post is directed to, you must use 7/8 inch static line, plus steel locking biners rated at 72kn. Don't load this rig using aluminum biners...nuff said.

As an interested but extremely amatuer to the world of climbing and rappelling I've got to raise a question on this knot.

'Twould appear that we're sacrificing redundancy for the sake of equalization and that just doesn't look right. Maybe the intent is to use more than one of these knots around the multiple anchors? While I'm revealing my ignorance, I'd maybe be inclined to use multiple webbing slings for this sort of application and eaualize as best I could during the installation...

Also would appreciate references beyond the obvious BSA ones

Thanks

This system is the one that I like to use for the main repel line. The redundancy is that the scout is topped roped to another line on an independent anchor. Also, the belayer is not only anchored, but often placed outside of the system. Additional redundancies can be added in such as a prusik brake on the guide hand side.
