Learn how to evaluate and practice setting up anchor rigging for a two-point, bolted anchor. This course uses the NERDSS analysis for evaluation and goes in depth to the strengths and weaknesses of various anchor rigging techniques including quickdraws, sliding-x, cordalette, and the quad.
This course builds on the skills taught in Intro to Anchoring and assumes a working knowledge of the cordalette, sliding-x, and quad on two-point anchors, building on those skills and the NERDSS analysis to build 1, 3, and 4 point anchors as might be used when top roping or trad climbing.
This Self Rescue course will focus on top rope rescue skills including:
- weighted and unweighted belay takeovers
- ascending the rope to the climber
- rappelling back down with the climber
