Chain link fence for anchor practice

 

Want a convenient and sturdy place to practice anchor building, or maybe cleaning and lowering from a sport route? Look no further than the nearest chain link fence.

  • Chain link fences are everywhere.

  • They can hold your full bodyweight.

  • You can easily change the height and width to whatever you want.

  • With a pair of 8 mm quick links, you can rig up a rappel station to practice transitions.

  • Clip a few carabiners as anchor points to practice 3 or 4 point anchors.

Yes, it's not indoors, but you can't have everything. =^)
