Return of clothes line.

If you really want two anchors, don't make them off the same point.

A couple of cams aren't a great help in this brittle rock.

All that mess converges on one thin runner.

The dead stump and skinny tree seem to call to people.

The stump has 1/4" clothes line, this hasn't been seen in decades.

The skinny tree gets a fat haul strap.

The clothes line goes to a single quick link, not a carabiner, there is no gate. I think that is a leaf caught in the rope.

Here the stump is paired with a tree with mostly exposed roots.

The anchors meet at two non-locking ovals that are being side loaded.

This is what you call suboptimal, the rope can saw away at the webbing.

We call this a yard sale, lay out everything you own and clip it together.

Not quite a tensionless anchor, the lines shouldn't cross and three wraps are the minimum.

Another daisy chain, these things are expensive for anchors.
