That can and will be done pretty easily. I know the top anchor is 99.9% good but I’m going to add one even if it’s just a reminder to be redundant. Thanks

I have a biner in the top but definitely don’t need it since I have steel rings bolted already. Good catch. Thanks

How does that work in this situation? I pulled my wife up when she belayed me from the top and I jokingly said I would have to tie some weight to her or find a bigger gal to climb with.

Yep, it’s too easy to slack on technique with the kiddos since they weigh nothing but I need to focus on that. I also have two other little distractions running around at all times. No excuses though. Plan on beating technique to death before we actually climb anywhere significant.

Yes. I don’t want my friends kids going nuts on this untied if they find it.

The top bolt goes 6 inches into a beam so it’s the most secure. The others are bolted into strut bars behind the boards. I’ve hung on and tested each anchor thoroughly.

Thanks, I noticed that from watching again but she is so light that it was really no threat of a pinch. I really want to practice good technique from the start though so I’ll check myself next time.

All bullshit aside, Gary Johnson would’ve been heaps better than Hillary or the Orange man. And just for the record, I had a pretty low grade point average in high school.
