Take up noticeably less space on my rack than other ropes. Hence the - The quad will extend slightly should either anchor point fail. IMO it was still great to save time and simplify the setup. "We did a lot of testing with Sterling and found that binding was a bigger factor than first suspected, especially with sliding X, where a sling is basically hitched around the biner, less so on somethng like a quad, where anchor point biners are clipped though a comparatively wide loopMost of the elaborate rigging systems are of little use Feb 26, 2018 ยท I don't see the point of them on multi pitch routes even if it's a sport route with bolts for every station. You will need a sling for every pair of anchor pieces, so a three point anchor will require two slings.
