We have talked before about the importance of the rope angles in rigging (and climbing for that matter), particularly the loads generated when pulleys are used as re-directs and the value to be gained from downloading the VTIO 'Working the angles' white paper.
Treemagineer, Mark Bridge has developed a simple 'angles' drawing also worth printing and laminating to keep in the truck (see below).
New Zealand's leading rigging trainer, Rossy Ross from Pro Climb , has this sheet laminated and attached to his rigging kit - it's an excellent reminder of the loads put on the anchor as the rope angles change.
