"Actually, I like to use as many locking carabiners as possible on every anchor. I think that the exercise of checking and rechecking 4, 5, 8, or 10 locks really helps keep me focused and builds muscle memory so I always remember to lock my belay carabiner. I make sure that they are in a chain so if even one fails my partner will probably die. It keeps me honest about how well I checked the anchor."

pmonks i think i love you
