Slack Anchor System: Independent Primary, Shared Secondary

In many rescue environments, a fully redundant system is needed—but the available anchors may be limited. One efficient solution is a Slack Anchor System with independent primary anchors and a shared secondary anchor. This setup preserves redundancy without requiring four completely separate anchor placements. It’s a hybrid model: strong, efficient, and commonly used in rope
