The Quad Anchor is a staple for anchors on solid bolts where you only need two anchor points.

For top rope setups the quad provides lots of redundancy and self equalizing with minimal extension.

For multi-pitch sport climbing the four strands of the quad can be used in pairs to provide two separate master points which keeps anchor stations tidy and provides options for belaying directly off the anchors.
