A beautiful Fall day and the gumbies came out in droves.

The runner and carabiner add complexity. Running the rope around both trees would be simpler.

Gate down means it could be forced open if that collar isn't REALLY locked.

Ignoring the enormous tree and using the loose rock.

Two anchors aren't great when they go to the same tree perched on roots out of the ground.

Using the big tree is better than the previous photo, but they came up short, and still use the loose block.

The white rope goes around both blocks. The green ropes go to one block each. The blocks have never moved when both are used together. The blocks have moved when used singly.
