Okay, for those who've been following all the anchor threads, let's have a little fun.
Can you name the anchors, based on the gear required to make them? A number of these will have more than one correct answer. All your answers must be self-equalizing (or at least load-sharing), limited-extension anchors.
1:
-three pieces of pro, each with a non-locking biner
-one cordelette
-two additional non-lockers
-one locker
2:
-three piece of pro, each with a non-locking biner
-one cordelette
-one locker
3:
-three piece of pro, each with a non-locking biner
-two slings
-one additional non-locker
-one locker

Fuck you. It's been raining for a month and a half, I'm stuck at work, I'm going to go outside and climb this weekend, rain or shine, and I'm trying to improve an otherwise dismal situation.
And you're not helping one bit.
If you don't want to play, no-one's forcing you.
Get lost asshole.

Gabe, sorry to hear about the weather back east. Its nice out in Cali, but i'm stuck at work, so I'll play along :)
Not sure about how to "name" them... but here are my thoughts
1: A statically equalized, redundant anchor
2: A statically equalized anchor without any redundancy at the power point
3: Either a redundant sliding x, or a statically equalized sling anchor

There's a height requirement at the door.... and you can't be a damn spurts climber.
So there!

Please don't put one of your silly labels on me.......you-elitist-tard-bastard-with-more-useless-posts-than-me.
As for the Height requirement, I can always stand on a gym mat.
Besides I'm honestly interested in what direction of pull and force a factor 1.9688 fall will put on a Murf-O-Lette.
Is there a sliding component in the Murf-O-Lette?
Can you pre-rig the Murf-O-Lette?
Is there a smaller version of the Murf-O-Lette?
Perhaps we could call it the SMurf-O-Lette?

Let me preface my answers by saying that I use a Reverso to belay my partners, and only one locker at the power point is necessary for such an anchor.
1. Equalized, Redundant anchor and two non-lockers
2. Exactly what I do everytime
3. Making do with what you've got, and a non-locker
Case in point: Cordalette (Or webolette, which I've never used but heard good things) is king.
