Maybe they think they can have better children.

 

The tree would creak every time it held weight. Note the "creative" knot. They had their kids hanging off this mess. The view below is much of their yard sale, you lay out everything you own and clip it together. They re sing webbing single strand, not the rated strength and prone to cutting. The placements are miraculous because they haven't failed, yet.

If the red cam even shifts a bit, the gold cam fails. You can see how slick the rock is, and it is known for shearing under impact. I nearly decked climbing on an anchor rigged in this crack when I weighted the rope to lower off. I hadn't seen the three pieces that pulled and was saved by an old climbing rope tied to a tree.
