Great job on this one! Good to see more people pushing the vertical anchors, in the US we have had a lot of push back from climbers as that isn't the familiar style. Great point about equal wear. Quite a complete video, I kept saying to myself "he missed that point" and then you would cover it. Have you found that twisting increases as you move those one ring anchors further apart in a horizontal set up?
Thanks mate! Really appreciate that coming from a fellow hardware nerd. This is one vid I've had planned for years and finally had the bandwidth to get done. And I have zero data about the rope twist, but yeah I think there's going to be a distance at which it's worst and after that probably then gets better, because the rope will have enough length between the rings that it's rotating enough to relieve the new twisting, if you get what I mean? That said, yesterday I was on a route that had the rings. Like 2 feet apart & it still twisted pretty bad. The different belay devices also twist your rope, but I dunno which is best/worst for that
Awesome video! I also really like 2 ring anchors offset vertically, I'm hoping I can convince more bolters around here to use it more instead of offset horizontally

Super useful vid thanks!
Amazing video! Thanks for the knowledge
Thanks mate! Just doing what I can. If there's anything specific you're keen to see feel free to suggest it

I definitely try to do that for shorter routes at least. Longer ones it doesn't really matter but for short ones the rope ends up twisted badly
