It's spring, they crawl out from under rocks.

The red webbing is clipped to the black ropes for what purpose?

All that black rope could simply tie around the tree, eliminating three points of failure.

 

The dead tree calls.

When a tree is covered in fungus, it is dead, really, really dead.

Give the tree a break, put the rope at the base. If you have to use a carabiner, put the gate facing away from the rock so it can't be forced open.

New season, same old stuff.

We don't need no stinking laws of physics.

Well, it's sort of a bowline.

The little cam with the carabiner gate pointed down towards the rock is the primary anchor. Buying a cordalette, doesn't ensure equalization.
