How to kill your kid.

They had plenty of rope, but just had to use the cordalette.

The anchor is way up the tree. Every time it was weighted the rope would jerk up in the air, just in time to trip someone.

If you're going to sell people 2 cordalettes, talk about using a knot, not adding a point of failure, much less the single carabiner.

Protecting the anchor from-- air.

7MM nylon cordalette, with 9/16" dyneema runner girth hitched, and yes, that is the climbing rope running through the runner, no carabiner. Dyneema melts at a lower temperature than nylon. A guy died at Great Falls this way.

  1. Wow, that last one might be the scariest and most dangerous anchor I have seen here.
