I like the "one big loop" method of (not) equalising belays....even more entertaining when you combine it with cams that only have one side engaged. Had this demonstrated to me while sharing a belay ledge on Tiger wall some time ago. After getting a grizzly response on pointing out the cam I took the "pina colada" approach.

I have in the past volunteered my own anchor "just as a backup".

The "american" belay technique baffles me. The rest of the world seems to understand?
