Nine more climbs for the Carderock Beta Channel.

After editing, they will join the others at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW042k3ycr0TCnCuhAYExbQ

Maybe that's how they do it in Russia.

That's the climbing rope.

Too skinny tree. That's also a climbing rope, being used as an anchor. Since it is dynamic, it is abrading every time it is weighted.

How to snare unsuspecting hikers.

Thank God it isn't the only anchor.

When they say a tree anchor should be 6" in diameter, none of that should be air.

Yeah, those twigs don't add up to an anchor. Don't leave your stuff at the top of the crag, it isn't safe.

Buy more rope, it's cheap. Green bucket is about the shortest anchor at Carderock, so this guy has a future of coming up short.

Everything he owned.

Didn't use the rope and came up short with an assortment of junk, all to get a tiny hex in the system.

Cam to nowhere.

Same old Saturday.

Barely a tensionless anchor with no apparent knot.

You can see the pile of static rope. He went with webbing way up the tree.

Why use it? Because he owns it.

He had plenty of rope, but added a sling, knots, single carabiners, etc.
