New gear, no clue.

A tensionless anchor? Not really. A bight of the rope goes around the tree, followed by a failed half hitch.

May qualify as a miracle.

That's a piece of firehose padding the edge. The block is probably big enough, but it isn't bedrock.

Santa brought new gear.

New 100' of static. You wouldn't want that nice new rope near the rock, right?

Shiny new gear. They're from Colorado, don't know if they heard the rock doesn't hold gear.
