I set a bomber, and multi directional base anchor. Pins are great here. Took out some shock by attaching my pack weight to it. Roped up with the device on a 40 foot knot leash as a back up. Re-tying it a few times up the pitch. Following sucked with the pack and jugs, I wanted to free it on tr but had to tighten the slack out or screw up.The pitches had too many flakes to haul the pack. I avoided dozens of leads by free-soloing up to 5.9.I only roped up on 3 pitches. It was a nice break from climbing with a pack.
