Spikeddem, please understand that my following post is for your benefit alone. The following is not meant to be malicious or derogatory, rather, it is an appraisal of what I find to be a disconcerting phenomena of this website:

This online community is doing you a great disservice by entertaining the notion that these innovative anchors are at all better than the tried and absolutely true method of using a cordelette. People invent this shit while sitting at their keyboards and dicking around their dorm rooms -- these anchors are not viable real world solutions; its theoretical, hypothetical nonsense.

If you can't find the method in a John Long anchor book, then don't do it.

Peace

There's a flaw in this logic. Would you prefer I use the first or second edition? I would end up with two significantly different conclusions!

Edit: My point being that there is no err in experimenting, especially on the ground. Indeed, I believe there is err in NOT experimenting. John Long himself encouraged it.
