One anchor. Minimal gear. 🧗‍♂️🔗

Building a climbing anchor using:

🔹 1 D-shaped carabiner
🔹 1 quickdraw
🔹 1 sling
🔹 1 HMS carabiner

Simple setup, fewer pieces of equipment!

⚠️ Anchor safety depends on proper connections, redundancy, loading direction, and suitable anchor points. Not every configuration is appropriate for climbing or belaying.

Would you use this setup? 👀

I prefer the quad

Is this “better” than girth hitching the masterpoint? Honest question - I just figure an overhand would be way harder to get apart but I’m not a pro

120cm sling, bowline instead of the locking biner and quickdraw in the second one.

QuickDraw bolt to bolt, locker on one of them for your personal anchor, safe the sling entirely

For a multipitch anchor? No. Your belay point is far too low.

Don't need an anchor if you never fall

Just go for a quad anchor. Self equalizes, and does not weld itself together. Saves you so much time and effort. Worth it on long climbs.

This is the anchor I use for most bolted belays except with a non-locker for the bolt.

Not for me. Lockers at the top of the leg of your anchor are unnecessary and sometimes bulky enough to get stuck or side load. Non-lockers here are the answer and the standard for professional guiding.
