   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_(climbing)

   In trad climbing belay stations, load-sharing anchors are often constructed from more than two individual anchors, which are rarely co-planar. In these cases, each individual anchor would feel a reduced force from the above values, but the best practice is to reduce the angle between the two outermost elements and avoid angles in excess of 120 ...

[1]It is frequently used in climbing and caving as an easily untie-able knot that is capable of being attached to two bolts and equalised.

9. Self-locking device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-locking_device

   The earliest type of self-belay device used was the ubiquitous prusik knotted sling used by climbers. The method requires the solo climber to feed out an estimated length of belay rope so that they can reach their next stance and repeat the process as the rope is difficult to feed through the prusik knot while climbing.
