This is a common anchor in the Canadian Rockies. However you have to have well consolidated snow. If there is any question at all beef up the anchor by burying more material. Crampons, probes or your grama if thats what it takes. The anchor has to be bombproof or it is not an anchor.

This little trick is pretty handy. Learned this from Greg Golovach. Just take a bight and place it through one biner. Tie off as usual. I find things easier to manage if the tie in point is around shoulder height. It is much more cmfortable then redirecting a beley off your harness. A good example of that is this clip on the Grand Sentinal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45gMnYviVfk Climbing Tools- Keeping the an |
Vector angles what are they? I wish that I knew because that would mean that I am smarter then I am now. I have read a great deal about them recently and really do not have a clue other then they are a force of nature and exist within our anchor systems ( in most cases. Despite the fact that 90% of you clip bolts and have very little need to worry about these forces it never hurts to learn a little more. The other 10% of you who will be climbing on so called traditional routes and building anchors out of nuts, cams, pitons and the such will need a reasonable understanding of these forces to maximize your safety.
