DumbAnchors
A collection of dubious top rope climbing anchors.

In soft rock, micro nuts are micro safe.
There is a good anchor, but the micro cam in a loose block and a small nut on the right, really don't help.
Single strand webbing and a tiny tree.

Yes, that is the climbing rope.
At least the kid hanging off it weighed only 50 pounds.
If you put 2 ropes on one tree, that 2 anchors, right?

Carderock storm damage

At least there are 2 carabiners
Not enough wraps to be frictionless, and this second anchor is more than 90 degrees from the other anchor.

Yes,these are the carabiners that were recalled.
The clove hitch isn't a good choice, I guess the backup knot helps.
More of same.

Spring cleaning.
Get everything out of the closet: old hunk of climbing rope, single strand webbing, carabiners, quickdraw, cordalette and dish towels.
