Let it begin! Here are the first for the year.
What do we have here? A top rope running through two lockers, opposite and opposed, connected to a single strand of 6mm cordalette. And on the other side of that overhand, the cord is connected to two separate and solid bolts. Yet the whole system depends on the single strand.
Redundant and equalized, yes, but if you're going to take slack out of a system, don't use a slipknot. What part of that makes any sense?
Here's a double eared figure 8, but the loop isn't clipped in. It's not the regular two eared eight, but instead a double figure eight on a bight. Just like if it's tied with an overhand instead of an eight, that loop needs to be clipped in with the rest of it to close the system.
This is just the beginning, and there's more to follow. These anchors are just from the first day climbing here at the ice park in Ouray. Lots more on the way!
I'm so happy that JANKETY-ASS ANCHORS is back!
