Pre tied sliding x anchor, On the downside, its anchor legs extend in case of one Jun 30, 2008 ยท When the sliding-x is good enough, I'll use it, because often speed and simplicity of set-up is almost as important as having a bomb-proof anchor. The Magic X prevents the carabiner from slipping out of the sling should one side of the anchor comes off the wall. Its biggest advantage is the ability to quickly and easily equalize (which means the weight/load is equally distributed across all points of the anchor). This technique works for any number of bolts beyond two. In constructing a multi-point anchor, climbers may generally elect a sliding or fixed length rigging system, resulting in a classic tradeoff between extension and load distribution, respectively. The idea is a seudo pre rigged anchor with your standard girth hitched sliding x anchor with a 120cm sling and two biners on bolts. It is self-equalizing, however by itself it is not redundant. I can set up a fully equalized dynamic anchor that fails at over 22kn (according to Black Diamond's lab) in under a minute. This mostly deals with the sliding-x anchor that is most commonly used for highline setups with bolts. The sliding X has a great advantage in regard to its self-equalizing masterpoint that automatically adjusts in a wide range of directions. Whilst remedying the problem of dynamic equalization, the Sl An article all about equalizing bolts. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. To make it redundant either use two slings/cords or tie limiter knots (usually overhand knots) in both sides. (I should add that just two pieces of pro are almost never "good enough;" and when I would use a sliding-x, I'm actually using a Trango Alpine Equalizer, which is essentially a pre-rigged sliding-x Here’s another quick way to set up an anchor using a 60cm sling. These limiter knots also serve the function of minimizing extension in case one of your two anchor points fail. The sliding-x anchor is a quick and easy anchor to build. This study explor In this video we discuss the Sliding X anchor (also known as the Magic X or Cross Sling anchor). When I climb multi-pitch with bolted anchors, like in Squamish (on some routes) and elsewhere, I use the tied sliding x exclusively, and pre-tie the anchor. I like the idea of using a rappel ring for the master point because it’s cheaper than another hms biner, and I also like using my connect adjust to clip in versus a clove hitch, although that may change with time. . The anchor in a recreational climbing system must be unquestionably strong and secure, able to withstand the force of high factor falls. After reading the section in "Climbing Anchors" about testing anchor setups (specifically in vertical placements resulting in unequal arm length) I'm interested in setting the sliding X or equalette configurations in order to gain better equalization and weight distribution between primary placements.
