WHIPPERS MY ASS LIAR A) IMO: sliding-X as anchor = dumb when other low-extension or non-schockloading systems exist for anchor (cordalette/equalette/quad/rope/take yer pick) [even when bolts exist @ anchor (see quad). only exception i'm wiling to make is x on one weak leg of cordalette] B) double-X carries no significant advantage with regard to point A without limiter knots, which reduce directional movement of sliding-x anyway C) sliding-X IS used MUCH more to equalize 2 pieces en-route than for TR anchor by anyone with sense (IMO), so whippers DO happen. edited to add stuff in [.] for clarification
