Want to learn how to properly clean sport anchors? This is useful for you when you are: (1) top-roping and the last person on the climb, or (2) sport-climbing and the last person on the climb. All outdoor rope climbers (whether TR or sport) should learn how to clean anchors. It's a valuable skill to have and will majorly enhance your outdoor game!
What we'll cover:
- Which way to hang quickdraws (if you're sport climbing)
- How to set a sport anchor when you reach the top
