what the hell are you asking redpoint? how are clipping anchors any different than clipping any other bolt? a "hard" to clip bolt/anchor is hard because the holds suck, you're too pumped, the body position is weird or you're using the wrong holds. The anchor clipping holds on Ro are huge if you go above the anchors and you can clip them from well below if you have some kung fu body positioning. the only reason its hard to clip the anchors is b/c you'r pumped. so really the only thing you need to do is get good endurance...and learn how to ask more specifically what you want to know so we don't go off talking about training bras. oh, and Jeff has plenty of experience and gave what I thought was the most helpful answer to an unclear question

I was going to say the same thing as Jeff, but now I have no clue what you are talking about.

I think he wants something like the anchors at bruise brothers that are <10ft off the ground to teach how to clean off of while you can watch them. I think there are some at practice wall also.

Can we put those hangers and hardware someplace more useful?

i've found myself on more than one occasion staring at shiny hangers n chains 10ft off the ground and wondering the same thing.

This is what jeff was talking about. There are many sets in the PMRP because of the UClimb events

why are people in Uclimb training to clip the anchors on Ro?
