A newly popular bad idea.

More people are using these trees, that doesn't make them any bigger.

The red rope if four feet up the tree, the blue webbing is attached to a rope with a single carabiner.

Sort of a tensionless anchor, tied off 15 feet from the tree.

Let's build a fire on this mulch

I guess they figured the Park Police were busy beating people. Leaving a box full goodies where you can't watch them isn't a good idea.

The law of unintended consequences.

The AMGA said you didn't need a stopper knot on a figure 8 if you left 6" of tail.  Since their announcement there has been an epidemic of bowlines without stopper knots. A bowline really needs a stopper. Is that AMGA 6"?

High anchor on a dead tree with a carabiner instead of a knot. Tiny tree with the same thing.

Nobody got hurt.

I told them to sling the boulders, didn't know they were that short. That's the climbing rope at the right.

The skinny tree is calling.

This is an attempt at the "high re-direct" dubious on its own, but the clove hitch to the carabiners entirely puts the force four feet up the tree, tremendously increasing leverage on the tree.

Is thinner dumber?

Why, why, why?

Rather than use the REALLY big tree, they used a tree that has seen better days.

All that rope and they didn't get it low enough.

Single strand webbing, way up the tree.

The other anchor is even higher, this will lever the tree enough to land the climber  on the ground at the start,

Why webbing is not a good idea.

Mystery rope from the internet.

That's really a loose rock, The tree bark has grown around the rock, so it hasn't moved in a long time.

Fortunately, it only had to hold small children.

The main anchor is a single strand, not a loop, of 9/16 webbing, with a single non-locking carabiner as a critical element.

The other anchor is a small hex. The rock is notorious for breaking under loaded chocks.

Same old, same old.

Tiny tree, and they had enough rope to tie to the tree without adding the cordalette and single carabiner.

Girthhitching anything but nylon isn't good idea.

The blue stuff is nylon, the green is thin, not nylon. 

When in doubt, string up everything.
