Cordelette quad anchor Keep it simple, don't worry about the quad and use the correct length sling for the application. Feb 16, 2019 ยท In the video above the instructor is showing how to make a quad with three pieces. I spend some time considering 6mm or 7mm for anchor cordelette (I selected the ticker). If you tie a small loop in each end, also known as “bunny ears”, you can reach placements that are farther apart, carry a shorter amount of cord, and rig an alpine block and tackle. Before I move on to other uses of the Mini-Quad I feel the need for a disclaimer here. But if you are using a quad for only two pieces you just double the cordelette and tie an overhand on each side to create the pocket. As for the argument that you can't make a trad anchor, it's pretty straight forward if you treat the open quad sling the same as a big loop of cord. The only time I would take cordelette is if I'm in a more adventurous area and I may have to cut my cord to make rap anchors on the descent. Access to the top of routes will vary, as will the available anchor points. Generally I'll carry one or two that are about 15 to 17 feet in length. kssmvbjgmpgvfoqpsfvstyvtlfrdqmmtgffuatlgynwaktbilmifcmtsqdmplfifxxydltyjmjxnlxxzldpk
