Death triangle or not - what does it matter? I understand the vector analysis, and I agree that we should where possible avoid the American death triangle but the danger imparted by the additional forces placed on two anchor bolts incorrectly slung is completely exaggerated.

 

If there are two bolts, or two trees or whatever, back it up as you see fit and then put a locking carabiner on it. You're good to go for a toprope.

My bad Erik; I was looking at it from an angle and 40' away. My apologies.

True, if you stick it deep inside. But it looks like an OW from the ground tongue.gif. It's a fun pitch, quite varied, though a bit dirty.

 

Many years ago Dave Shuldt, cascadesprayer extraordinaire, schooled me on that thing. bigdrink.gifbigdrink.gifhahaha.gif

 

And by the way, no real OW technique required on Battered Sandwich either.
