Still dead.

Very dead tree.

Some other guy got the bottom, so he puts a loose "backup backup" and puts one runner around the smallest trunk

"It must be good, I bought it online."

When you see an eye splice, it doesn't meet climbing standards. You can't tie a knot at the anchor. This stuff is 8MM, it can cut and stretch. There are 2 carabiners.

This is the other anchor, it is hollow on the other side.

The climber was REALLY surprised how far he fell.

Here's the culprit, 9MM semi static canyoneering rope.

Hope the Russians enjoyed the 141 pages they viewed today. Why Russians, don't know but it can't be a good thing.

High rigging is hard on the trees, and these lines are stretching and contracting like rubber bands when they are weighted.

Go with the tiny tree instead of the enormous one? They were short on rope, but you have to wonder.

Learn to tie a bowline.

Lots of rope, they added a thinner cordalette, and a single carabiner, two unnecessary points of failure.

Do you miss Carderock? It doesn't miss you, look at all the fresh vegetation.
