1. How to fix the flexible anchor line at an an-
chor point: Hook the carabiner of the guide rope
at the anchor point and make sure that it is properly
closed (e.g. screw lock tightened). Make sure that
the carabiner is freely movable in the anchor point
and protected against damage.
Protect the guide rope against sharp-edged objects
(e.g. by means of edge protection).
