Something to chew on. A retrievable from the canopy basal anchor.

you climb the left side in the photo. The knot jams in the ring



To retrieve pull knot and pull bight of rope to you.

Cool!

well look at you Mr. Smarty pants! Looks great, any problems with it getting jammed up?

I've done that trick with an AFS and it was cool to be able to pull the whole shebang up to become a canopy anchor. I didn't use a bight, just a jam knot against the small ring and the tail connected to it...sort of a full circle rig kinda thing. It took some management when pulling the rope to eliminate pulling from underneath a pile, but it worked slick.

Thanks for posting, Tony!

At the low and slow level sometimes the bight will jam a bit in the ring. A good hard pull frees it up or just keep working the loop till the tail passes through the ring .

It does force one to manage rope or look like a fool!

Nice idea, although I dont like the loading of the biner against the stem in the picture

 

[Tony]

Not as bad as to looks! Good point though , definitely something that could be refined. I could easily load it "in line"with the snake anchor.

Actually I was testing all of you! I love rationalizations

Nicely done Mr. T,

Also love that climbing line!!

Tech 11 is Great Stuff!

 

[SuperK]

Thats slick i like that!

Thanks all! I keep finding more ways to use the ART Snake anchor. Yes, the tech 11 so far has been a great climbing line. Crosses over well from 1:1 scanerios to 2:1 and back.
