4:14 is not a correct explanation of the magic X. If you have limiting knots like that, then you're going to clip one carabiner to each strand and not need the magic X. You don't clip the carabiners to both strands as shown. Magic X prevents failure in case one of the limited sections of sling were to break.

@@wissamharb5684 thanks for the reply. I was thinking maybe the chain being under the carabiner would cause some sideways pressure on the carabiner when the system is loaded and in the worst case the carabiner would fail from a stress fracture. There obviously designed to take allot of weight in a streight line. Would be interesting to see how strong they are in the directions there not intended to be used. I have watched allot of these style of videos and have probably learnt more from the comments than the videos.

A quick tip is instead of finding the half way mark, just tie the two ends of the rope together to form a continuous loop of rope. Then when you're down the bottom just pull the strand with the knot in it down. Voila... This is quite speedy if you're setting a up a number of top rope anchors for groups

How does the person get up to the anchor spot to install it for use if he himself is not anchored because he hasn't yet installed it? Do they have to flip a coin to decide who has to risk their life free climbing without ropes to get to the spot to install the anchor so only the other guy can safely climb?

What do i need the figure 8 knot for? isn't it going to make the sling easier to break?
@EggGiant6 жыл бұрын
Tieing a knot in the sling made the system a more redundant. If he hadn't tied a knot and the sling broke, the whole system would fail. Tieing the knot allows for the case that if the sling were to fail at any point, the whole system would not fail potentially saving the climber. Yes knots reduce the strength of slings by more then half but the force produced by a falling top rope climber is not as much as a lead fall. If you still don't trust a knot you can always use 2 slings instead one.
