Attachment to the anchor
[edit]This section seems to be about lead-climbing styles rather than "attachment to the anchor". I propose eliminating/moving the existing content and replacing it with a description of ways in which to attach to an anchor: I don't know the proper/common terminology, but attention should be directed toward:
- Direct / hard tied - Used when "tying in" on a ledge at a top belay or hanging belay. Used for securing gear or a bivy.
- Looped through - Using the anchor as a pulley, as in top-roping or hoisting.
- Passed through - The rope runs through a carabiner, as when lead climbing, or setting up a directional (deviation, redirect).
