Event Organizer: Jesse Huard and John Killan

Topic:
Come join for a casual hang in an informal setting where we will discuss and demonstrate the underlying fundamentals of climbing anchors, all while enjoying some tasty beverages and snacks.

How strong does an anchor need to be? How much force can a climber realistically place on an anchor? What even is gravity? What sort of things do we need to consider when building anchors? How do I look at an anchor to figure out if I can trust it, especially if it’s not one I’m already familiar with?

We’ll try to cover all this and more in this session! Come with an open mind, a desire to learn and share, and of course plenty of stoke!

Notes:

We will be at a table upstairs.
