Ice Climbing Anchor tips from the American Alpine Institute

Recently the American Alpine Institute has posted tips for building anchors for ice climbing.  These tips aren't ground-breaking new information, just good, safe technique.  I find any information on anchor building to be helpful, either as a review or for learning the first time.  When I first started trad- and ice climbing, I was constantly reading books and articles about building anchors.

Anyway, I thought these were helpful posts, so I thought I'd pass them on.

Climbing Anchors to avoid

The American Alpine Institute published a blog post all about what not to do for climbing anchors.  Some of the problems are obvious, others are not so obvious.  Anyway, it is a helpful and worthwhile post.  Check it out here:
