I used to, took some training with some mountain guides in Canada and they use non lockers so I started using them. They don’t jumble as much as the master point
I do a 6 strand quad anchor and extend it to a regular quad anchor if I need to. Locking carabiners on everything. Any situation where you think this might not be okay? It's the only anchor I ever do.
@@ClimbClear Not a clue but that's a good idea to learn. There aren't really any trees on cliffs where I live (makes hammocks annoyingly useless) but it's something I'll look at!
@@noodlesthe1st not trying to be tricky! The reason I ask is because different places have different anchors. If you start to travel and climb, and only know a quad you may be limited. Usually with sport climbing in North America the bolts are setup like this video, but sometimes they are not. Or like I showed in that little picture it helps to extend the anchor over a sharp edge so your weighted rope isn’t running over it. Also, if you get into multi pitches there are, depending where you are, tree anchors or rocks you need to sling. The more advanced and remote the climbs the more important it is to be flexible and know multiple techniques. Quad is fine for really simple sport climbing, but if you explore enough you’ll come up to an anchor situation it won’t fit in, then you gotta be ready!
Two lockers because you won't be inspecting it but non-lockers on the bolts? Any reason for not using lockers on the bolts?

Would you know how to set up an anchor on a large tree if you needed to?
