Barely there.

Maybe the tree root helps.

More 8 mil.

Plus the carabiner with the gate down so it can open.

Yard Sale

Use everything you own, webbing runners, 8MM, single strand and as a loop, double carabiners until you run out and use single carabiners.

Why not use the ENORMOUS tree?

We've gone from two anchors to three now.

They did not use the tree on the right, the rope goes to the two tiny trees at the left.

Every choice is awful.

You could probably pull this rock out by hand.

Tiny trees, single wire gate carabiner, gate down, this anchor isn't functional, it is just clipped around the rope.

Single anchor over a sharp edge, and yes, that is a loose block.

It was all they had.

Yes, that's 8MM green rope for one climb, old, single strand webbing, with a carabiner instead of a knot.

Not actually an anchor.

1. This is a dead tree. 2.This is not a tensionless anchor, not enough wraps. 3. The anchor isn't at the base of the tree 4. The pack is just waiting to be stolen. 5. The climber was on the rope, this anchor isn't working.
