Rock Anchors Seminar
This one day seminar is designed to go beyond the basics of placing protection and building anchors. It builds on the previous one day seminar. On the advanced anchors seminar a brief introduction to the use of pitons will be included. In addition, advanced configurations for mixed anchors and complex situations will be covered. Of note will be advanced concepts including why equalization is NOT always the best configuration for building the strongest anchors. Fixed point belays may be discussed if time permits. The DARN Solid mnemonic will be introduced as an aid to anchor construction.
