'''[[Strength and safety]]''' are the two parameter that together make a good anchor. These two traits play important patrs in setting a [[belay]] and when [[equalization|equalizing pieces of protection]] to make a complex anchor.
===Anchor strength===
Ancor strength refers to the maximum load the anchor can take without breaking. Anchor strength is never an absolute number, and there's no real way to know it without destructive test (adding and dynamometer and increasing the load until it breaks). Nevertheles, it is essential to estimate the strength, in relation to the expected load it needs to support. For example, for a [[rope rescue]], when hauling is needed, you need a stronger anchor than for [[rappeling]].
===Anchor safety===
Anchor safety is the measure of certainty the anchor will not pull out by chance, or by user mistake. Cmmon examples are a [[nut]] that is pulled in the wrong direction, a sling around a spike, that is accidetially lifted or even if you decide to change the direction of pull after the anchor i already set. Anchor safety also refers to the immediate vicinity to the anchor: the rock quality, the rock type etc.

The following table shows a few examples for strong, weak, safe and unsafe anchors:

* A large, in-situ boulder
* A large [[using trees as anchors#oak|oak]]
|
* A 15cm high tree stump

* A large boulder, sitting on sandy soil, with the rope around it

|weak

* A thin, cracked [[threads|thread]]
* A small [[using trees as anchors#pine|pine]] tree
|
* A [[cams|cam]] in a flaring frack
* A piece of pro placed in a crack in a rock, where the whole rock can be pulled  out
