"I'm in the UK, so legally obliged to not carry a cordelette." Said without pause or almost any thought. Classic. 🤣

Great instruction, probably kept on-track by all the supervision your dog is offering up!

Great series. Building belays along with you on my own sling mountain and feel I've learnt a lot.

How about a video with the anchor points aligned vertically instead of horizontally?

Brilliant series: short, clear, great reasoning provided, easy to follow and practice as a follow along. Thank you

Very helpful series. The way I (a beginner in multipitch and very very beginner in trad) understand it, the reasoning behind all this hassle (compared to a pre made quad on two bolts), is to make it work when bits of gear qre far apart, and also take some shock potential off the gear by introducing belayers body as shock absorber. Is that kind of right?

Great series ! Exactly what I was looking for !

Great series; yes...I have watched the other Part 3, too!

First time block leading I left my 240 at the anchor and didn’t take my mates. Had to use a 30cm sling and a 120 to make the anchor.

Thanks for the free advice and taking time to produce your videos 👌

Really enjoyed this one. Sometimes wonder if what I've just done is a bit of a buggers muddle. Turns out some of it is actually quite good.

Great vids, love the real world practical comments. Any differences to your thought process if you’re building a belay on half ropes?

Thank you very much, always prefer a video as well

Great video, thanks. Does having a static sling to create a master point of two anchors, and then dynamic rope between that master point and another anchor, cause any issues? Obviously it's safe, but would an all-rope belay be preferable if possible? I'll be up your neck of the woods next month for my HML assessment, I'll have a wander and see if I can find your demo crag!

Forgotten where I saw this but putting the three knots on the wide end created more three way loading than packing them at the narrow end (the goal is to get everything close to the back bar which is the rated direction). It’s probably much of a muchness though…

Thanks

The Equalettte is in my opinion the best way to build an anchor

Your videos are brilliant pal 🙏.. I've been climbing safe for 20 + years and watching your videos is adding to that! How do i purchase a T shirt to support and buy a coffee? Sorry my I.T skill aren't very good 😅

Thanks!

Why do you need an even number of strands coming out the back of the rope? (Says me while looking at my BFK)

Good things as always. I would perhaps reevaluate not using a cordelette. With the caveat that I use Salewa Master cord (15 kN single strand) or Austrialpin Dynamit (22 single strand), I never keep mine tied in a loop so depending on the situation I can use the full 5 metres. Figure of eight in both ends, if you want it as a loop just clip both ends to the same piece, if you want it shorter just clove or make an overhand in the middle where you want it, practical, easy to use, racks nicer than a long sling (in my opinion). I don't carry any slings longer than 120!

Your final anchor. Rope with guide mode. Couldn’t you clove hitch to two pieces so you only need 4 strands in the knot instead of 6? To save some rope

Great thorough video thanks! Quick question: you recently changed your tie in knot? This looks like a variation of a bowline, but I fail to identify exactly which one it is.

Great video, and series. Dead useful! Question 1, was Oreo nodding off sat up on that ledge? :D Question 2, were you tied in with a bowline? I don't think I've seen you do that before. Am I right in thinking you're normally a fan of the Figure 8 with Yosemite finish? Again, awesome series. Thanks for your effort putting these together!

Like the video and also the cap - where did you get it from?
