Climbing anchors allow climbers to safely defy gravity. Solid anchors and
\nproper rope techniques can prevent a fall from turning into a catastrophe,
\nwhile bad anchors are an accident waiting to happen, says certified guide
\nCraig Luebben, who invented his own type of climbing protection, the Big Bro.
\nSince then, he has taught rock climbing to hundreds of clients and has
\nconducted self-rescue clinics across the United States. He distills more than
\ntwenty-five years of experience into Rock Climbing Anchors. <\/p>\n
This entry in the Mountaineers Outdoor Expert Series, for intermediate-to-
\nadvanced climbers, presents modern anchoring ideas and techniques for top-
\nroping, rappelling, sport climbing, traditional rock climbing, and
\nmountaineering-all in one comprehensive guide. Luebben covers the finer points
\nof all types of commonly used anchors: removable anchors including hexes,
\nwired nuts, tri-cams, expanding wedges, expandable tubes, and cams; natural
\nanchors such as trees and boulders; and fixed anchors like bolts and pitons.
\nPhotos show a variety of gear placements, accompanied by discussion of the
\npros and cons of each.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
