I just posted an article about how to build and deploy a Quad anchor: http://www.summitpost.org/quad-anchor/777941
I have used this when multi-pitching, but I was wondering if there are some drawbacks to this system I am not aware of?
cheers,
Jukka

Redundant - The resulting anchor should be redundant for every part in it. In simple terms, pay attention to every piece of gear you have installed; if any one of them should break, you should always have secondary security built into the anchor. No single failure should lead to total failure of the anchor.
No Extension - There should be no extension, or slack, in the system. The more extension there is, the more brutal the shock forces will be in a case of a fall.
