I assume you do use redundant loops when building an anchor from a cordolette, equalette, or slings?

BTW, my first rc.com slapdown is "daft"? lol
Wink Don't know where 'daft' came from but I like it and might use it again. But to answer your question: Most of the time I build anchors with my rope. I don't use redundant loops when building anchors from slings. I don't uses equalettes. If I use cordalettes I used them according to the intrustics on the packet.

What is so hard about basic anchoring concepts that people need to ignore them, or try and reinvent them (i.e. using a pas to build an anchor with 2 bolts for pro)? Why in god's name would you want only 1 loop of rope for the master point? sRene...the R is for redundant, which one loop isn't.

Redundant in terms of protection. Because protection is the biggest unknown. For strong stuff you don't need redundancy if you trust your gear.
