I've heard many experienced people rag on cordelletes from ODH to Bulti. I can and do build anchors with the rope in situations and would take on anyone in a clove hitch tying race.
But a big length of cord is a tool I like and will continue to use for anchors. It's simpler, faster, neater, saves slings and draws for leading, easy belay escape for block leading and abseiling, and a good compromise for SRENE (or what's left of its relevance). Plus it doubles as tat and as a big prusik of actually useful length. |
