Two rock threads equalised with a Maillion. The blue pipe is to protect the rope from wear against the rock. The rope here was threaded through the anchor as soon as I reached it, so that it’s ready to abseil on. I’ve made myself safe with the blue sling whilst belaying two clients in guide mode. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1597955177225-KFVH1FB52RZUPT4PRUGN/IMG_5460.jpg All Articles - Abseil Anchors Matt Glen happily abseiling off the top of Fallout Corner (VI 7) in the Cairngorms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1602600222087-0URXZF3SSN1RASQI30CD/DSC00278.jpg All Articles - Abseil Anchors A basic descent anchor: 6mm cord tied in a loop and the rope threaded ready to abseil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1603728436288-7MJDN8QYNCGO3GXTL5IJ/IMG_7615.jpg All Articles - Abseil Anchors A big solid oak tree with in-situ abseil tat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1603726812877-OW7AJW77OTUND7Y01T1L/IMG_7646.jpg All Articles - Abseil Anchors This single point anchor is a large healthy holly tree. This particular tree is often used as a descent anchor so the in-situ blue rope tied around the tree has a maillion in place to thread the ropes through, avoiding wear on the fixed rope from pulling the abseil ropes through. Again, the grey and orange ropes are joined with two overhand knots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1602601137851-5XFWJWT8DAQ1OGI9S8VY/IMG_6604.jpg All Articles - Abseil Anchors Another example of huge spike of rock, this time with an in situ abseil point and Maillon. In this photo, I’m belaying two clients in guide mode whilst attached to the anchor with a sling, ready to abseil. The ropes were pre-threaded through the Mallion once I was safe and before I started belaying to speed up the descent process. https://www.lucacelano.com/all-articles/buying-a-trad-rack monthly 0.5 2020-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d069366b29d900001c858c3/1601464475751-HRRCUE07381LKV3XZPPR/DSC03087.jpg All Articles -
