What type of anchor uses two different anchor points and connect together at a single point?

• A. Redundant Anchor
• B. Load Sharing
• C. Static Anchor
• D. Dynamic Anchor

Answer: (B)

A load-sharing anchor uses two different anchor points tied together at a single master point to share the load. The idea is to distribute force across multiple anchors so that no single point bears the entire load, reducing the risk if one anchor fails or deforms. In practice, you set up two independent anchors and connect them to a single point where your rope attaches, creating a shared load path. This is different from a redundant anchor, which is about having backups in case an anchor fails but not necessarily tying both to one point. Static and dynamic anchors describe how the anchor behaves under load, not how multiple anchors are arranged. So the best choice is load-sharing.
