Upgrading an Anchor with Rappel Rings
If you want to make the mountains a better place, clean up a rat's nest of TAT! Here is one way you can equalize three pieces using a 10 foot length of 9mm rope. Cord or webbing works great too.
- Remove all old TAT with a knife
- Tie Retraced Overhand Knot to top piece
- Slide rap rings onto rope
- Pass rope through second piece, and back through rap rings
- Tie Retraced Overhand Knot to bottom piece
- Tie Overhand on a Bight just above the rap rings (master point) to eliminate potential extension.
