Self equalising anchor 27-Jul-2008 At 9:14:05 PM Chipbutty

Wow, this could go on forever.... I think there are many other factors to consider in choosing your method, horses for courses. If the second falls it is rarely like a leader fall, more of a slump. how good are the placements? if they are not so good surely you would try and get more than two, as I understand it the amount used in a self equalising anchor. personaly I like to build my anchor, belay directly from it and attach myself so that I have freedom to move without having to move the angle of the anchor, independant. Sorry but I'm rubbish at explaining things. with two bomber placements and no chance of the sling being cut then surely it would be very safe. where as if it were used to top rope with people swinging about on it abraiding it on the rock and out of sight it may not be so ideal.
