Anchors

Description

An anchor in rappelling or climbing is something that you can tie a rope to without it moving. Different anchors have different strengths, and you can't always tell how good an anchor is just by looking at it. Anchor construction takes practice. Sometimes bolts are already in place; other times natural features are available; occasionally, man-made retrievable anchors are used.
