LSA Adjustable Two Prusiks System The LSA (load sharing anchors) Adjustable Two Prusiks system is a simple and effective method for pre-tensioning or stabilizing components in a rope rescue environment. It uses two Prusik hitches on a tension line to manage load placement without requiring complex devices or mechanical pulleys. This approach is lightweight, adaptable,

Voodoo Hitch Pre-Tensioning System The Voodoo Hitch is a quick and efficient method to apply tension in rope rescue systems. It uses wraps and friction instead of pulleys or progress-capture devices. This makes it ideal in situations where gear is limited or time is tight. What Is a Voodoo Hitch? The Voodoo Hitch is a

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

2×1 Equalette Load Sharing Anchor with Limiting Knots The 2×1 equalette anchor is a refined variation of traditional cordelette systems. It’s designed to distribute load between two anchor points while incorporating limiting knots to reduce extension and manage system stability in the event of anchor failure. This setup is efficient, adaptable, and ideal for environments

3×1 In-Line Cordelette Load Sharing Anchor The 3×1 In-Line Cordelette LSA is designed to distribute load evenly across three anchor points aligned in a straight line. This configuration is particularly useful when dealing with multiple anchor points that are not equally strong or when the direction of the anticipated load is straightforward. Key Components: Cordelette: A

Slack Anchors Slack anchor systems are commonly used in rope access, though they appear in other rescue environments as well. Their appeal lies in simplicity—and in many rope access situations, where dynamic loading or sudden failure is rare, slack anchors are entirely appropriate. However, simplicity doesn’t mean simplicity of thought. These anchors require purposeful alignment,
Multi-Point Anchors In rope rescue, single-point anchors aren’t always enough. Sometimes they’re weak. Sometimes they’re in the wrong place. And sometimes, they’re simply not there at all. That’s where multi-point anchor systems come in. These systems combine two or more anchor points into one unified structure. They give you options when you need strength, flexibility,

Single Point Anchors Single point anchors are the foundation of most rope systems. They are simple, fast to deploy, and—when properly selected—extremely effective. Whether using a rope, a sling, or webbing, the goal is the same: create a secure, reliable attachment point that holds under expected load without unnecessary complexity. There are two basic types
