Why the AMGA figure 8 guideline was a terrible, terrible idea.

A tensionless anchor on their little tree is a good thing, as we saw last week. Using the carabiner, not so good. They can be stolen. On the same anchor...

They taught you the prusik, not a bad thing, but don't leave it here where anybody can take it. 

AMGA said don't use  stopper knot on the figure 8, no surprise we are starting to see bowlines without one.

The other anchor, same thing. If you are going to do dogma, you have to own the results., just ask the Pope.

Figure 8? Figure 9? No, figure it out.
