Halloween comes early.

1. The anchor is 3 feet up the tree, increasing leverage on the tree. 2. That is one runner  doubled around the tree, if it or the carabiners fail on either side, the anchor fails. 3. The long runner is doubled and knotted with one strand clipped into each side. This accomplishes nothing, one side fails, it all fails. 4. If they had extended this runner they might have made it over the cliff edge. 5. They paded the edge with their rope bag, the rope was burning through it.

1. There is an enormous tree just out of sight to the left, better than a root that you have no idea what it is attached to. 2. The girth hitched edge of the rock is hardly stable. An overhand loop knot might be more stable. Learn to use it. 3. The thread at the top should have been tied off with all the extra rope, eliminating a runner, carabiner and risky clove hitch.
