In rope rescue, particularly in vertical environments, the system doesn’t start with a rope—it starts with the anchor. Anchoring systems carry more than just load;

Twin Tensioned Highline Anchors with Removable Bolts In high-angle or canyon-based rescue environments, systems must perform reliably while minimizing their environmental footprint. This twin tensioned

Load Sharing Anchors Load Sharing Anchors, often called LSAs, are a core standard in technical rigging. Outside of strict industrial settings—where you might rely on

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

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
