Climbing How to: What style of anchor construction and when to use it?

Mike Barter answers the question of what style of anchor construction and when to use it. We got called out enough over the style of anchor we have been promoting. As usual what should be a straight forward demo of how to do it and why. A few changes came into being. From the time I started this video to the point of finishing my viewpoint on the sliding X type anchor changed or at least shifted to the left a bit.


I can't give a definitive answer as to what to use and when as this would be doing you a disservice. The variables and conditions are just to great to limit ones mind with thinking that anyone way is better then another.
