This 'Y' hang is based on one of the key competency skills required of a Rope Access technician, a 'Double Figure of 8 on a Bight' in this case we have used the knot in a more creative way and adjusted one loop small and the other large, this then allows the knot to adjust when moved laterally with an additional connector.

Care and selection of anchorage are paramount to mitigate the risk of anchor failure or rope damage. Only one system is shown here for clarity, you must use two systems, one for the main and one for the backup at all times.

Angles should be between 60 and 90 degrees, 90 degrees is called the optimum angle and ideal shouldn't be exceeded.
