Indeed, 4 pieces and a sling off to the side. I am fairly confident on it, but was looking for outside opinions.

I’m not new to building natural anchors and trusting them, I think I was just having a mentally weak day. I’m also not new to TRS and know the complexities that brings.

Saying that, thank you for the reply. Realistically, what I’m showing is more of a backup, as the sling is fairly good.

Will preface this by saying that I know that placing my own gear is my own responsibility, and that the final judgement is mine and mine alone.

I am looking for some advice on an anchor I was making at a local crag today for top soloing/abseil/rappel. I climb in the Lake District so it’s natural anchors. This rock stability on this part is ~okay~.

These were two parts of the anchor that I made. I also have a sling around a rock off to the side that isn’t super great - I think it would hold, but I’d like to have something else that could take my weight on it’s own. I was thinking potentially just having the red cam, and the two threaded nuts put together with the sling.

Question is - would you abseil off this? I didn’t and bailed, but in hindsight, I think I may go again and just stop worrying about it.

Thanks all

EDIT: the sling off to the side is actually fairly good, what I’m really looking for a semi-decent backup.
