For several reasons: 1 - Having an autolock on the anchor puts you in a great position to escape the belay, haul, or whatever you might need to do. 2 - Having a self-equalizing anchor is important in this situation, when you don't know whether the force of the second will be to the side, or down. Not to mention, if your next pitch started with either a continuation of the traverse, or a straight-up line, the anchor is ready to catch your ass either way. Cheers, GO Mike Saint When you done reading my PM, just think about what GO said here.This is another reason. Majid, if you want people to take you seriously, then forget the pm's and put your opinion out and have it critiqued. I am well aware of the benefits of belaying off the anchor. Now look at my previous post and think about how you anchor could be compromised with a pull from the side. Btw, I CAN escape the belay if I belay off my harness. Josh
