If the horizontal section of the U isn't perfectly level the rope will naturally slide to the lowest point. Also if the belayer or where the rope runs through the biner on the last bolt isn't exactly under the U it will always be pulled to that side. I saw photo's of some that Lee Cujes used recently, I think his are about 200mm wide. I like the idea and it has some merit but if the belayer always belays from the same spot and it isn't perfectly in line it's always going to pull to the side they are on. I believe two anchors with sufficient space between them with replaceable wear points of either rated clip and go's or shackle.
