You have three anchors rigged for a downward pull, with a single directional anchor for an upward pull. Now, should the leader fall, he/she will pull you up, potentially ripping out the single piece, followed by the trio of pieces. Not exactly a bomb-proof belay anchor. The belay anchor, as I understand it, is for the belayer, and the leader places protection on lead. There's nothing saying that the leader can't use the belay anchors as his/her first "piece". You have essentially rigged a belay for bringing up your second. But not for the other scenario. You need to equalize the anchors using a sling, cordelette, or similar method and make sure to anticipate the direction of pull. There is a good write up of this in John Long's book "Climbing Anchors". read above posts for a discussion of why it wont happen the way you describe....

Cams, bolts, trees, slung threads, and pitons are multi directional. I suggest you use them by preference. That said, the correct answer to your question is cut the rope, go home, write a bestseller about it.

They all have at least one gear placement somewhere. Placing a $5.00 bolt next to a crack that I already have the gear to fit is a waste of $5.00 I could otherwise spend on beer.

I own a toothbrush, crash pad, power drill, full rack, 200 pitons and have 8 pairs of rockshoes, of which 4 are slippers. I worked in a gym for a year. Am I trad or sport? Somebody tell me quick so I know who to hate

I had some 12% alc by vol apple spider once, man what a bite that had!!!

Speaking of Mt Baring I heard thru the grapevine that rockfall has basically eliminated the 1st few pitches of the big Burdo sport route and it is presently unclimbable but that BB is planning to add new pitches not in the line of fire. This info 2nd hand so take it with a grain or two of salt.

Somebody take a digital camera along and shoot video of Dwayner and pope getting hugged by Peter Puget

Isnt daisy your mom?

In the Beckey guide there are a few old routes listed on the Lake Ann Buttress above Lake Ann (duh) that you pass on the way to Fisher Chimneys. They look like they might give some good climbing, probably sandbagged, anybody ever climbed them?

if you gut a snafflehound the skin should just fit over your foot. One on each foot and talk about fuzzy slippers!!!

Anybody ever seen the phrase "I am Neat And Cool" spraypainted on a certain rock at Squamish

Yo mamma is so fat when she goes to the beach, Greenpeace shows up and tries to push her back in the water!

Dennis, please give the mountain a real good chance by amputating both testicles, one hand, and having your left cerebral hemisphere removed before the next time you go climbing. oK?
