How many ways are there to set up ice climbing belay anchors? Why set them up one way as opposed to another? How does the quality of the ice figure in to the decision? Should ice screws always be placed slightly below perpendicular to the ice? What about upward pull forces on ice screws? How can the ice belay anchor be best protected from a factor 2 fall?
