Sounds like you're right into it, excellento!
With anchors, the more you practice (at home, stairs, garden, garage, walls, windows) the quicker and better and safer you'll become. There is no standard 'pat' solution (as spoon fed on the SPA course), and sometimes you'll have to make quick judgements as to which is the lesser of two evils.
Get a nut key that has 'ears' for retreiving stuck friend sliders.
Sorry chap, no longer in London, and sadly given up climbing as the tendons can't take it any more :( I think if I wandered into mile-end and mentioned Richard and the NLRC all of them would think I came from another planet!
