TRANGO Alpine Equalizer Our Alpine Equalizer is the perfect solution for quickly equalizing up to three placements Use it on ice or in the alpine for a speedy anchor, carry it on multi-pitch bolt routes for a quick anchor at the belays or use it as a super long runner Based on the R and D work done by Jim Cormier at Cormier Mountaineering, we've updated it, lightened it and adapted it to work great in any setting While ideally suited as a self-adjusting anchor system, it can be made non-extending by tying an overhand knot in the center loop (shown) or by clove-hitching at each protection point
