A climbing-rope anchoring method, an anchor strap and a recovery system, and a recovery device are disclosed. The anchoring system, suited to both running line and static line rappelling, is ground recoverable. An anchor strap, with end-rings, is used to girdle a suitable anchor, for example, a tree fork. A rope, to which rope-end-stops are affixed, is threaded through the anchor strap end-rings and a running collar retrieval device is attached to the rope between the two end-rings. The anchor system supports the weight of a climber during a rappel activity, upon reaching the ground, the climber pulls downward on one lead of the rope until a rope stop passes through an anchor strap end-ring and jams in the recovery device which then jams against the other end-ring. This frees one end of the anchor strap allowing it to be pulled from the anchor and fall to the ground. |
