Mountain contributor Drew Poggs breaks down how to build a toprope anchor for rock climbing, including the gear you'll need and a demonstration at the crag. The demonstration takes place at Practice Rock, a local crag outside Bozeman, Montana at the mouth of Hyalite Canyon. Pogge has been climbing rock and ice for 12 years, from Alaska to South America. From his home in Bozeman, he enjoys access to some of the finest climbs in the United States, and is humbled daily by the abundant local talent.
