A retaining wall anchor system of the type primarily used to tie retaining walls to dead men. The anchor system comprises at least one wall anchor formed of a pair of spaced apart legs joined at one end to form a U-shaped portion while the other ends are attached to the retaining wall, such that the U-shaped portion extends from the wall. At least one tie rod which has one end attached to a dead man and the other end has a loop formed thereon by bending the end back toward the other end of the tie rod, around, toward and past the tie rod, so that the tie rod end extends beyond the tie rod. The tie rod is inserted between the spaced apart legs of the wall anchor, and a locking device is removably inserted through the tie rod loop such that the tie rod is attached to the wall anchor.
