Back-tie anchors. Many times a questionable anchor can be reinforced into what would be considered a bombproof anchor ... one way this can be done is through a back-tie. [It is] typically done by using a wrap 3 pull 2 technique on both the primary and secondary anchors and [by connecting] them by using a 3:1 MA [mechanical advantage] (non working and very inefficient MA using carabiners).
