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, […]
