| Two wraps doesn't make this a tensionless anchor. A bowline would eliminate the carabiner. |
| Tiny tree, too high up the trunk, but it is a tensionless anchor, as you can tell by the loose knot. |

| Tiny tree and two bad knots, on the right is a sloppy tensionless anchor. |

| On the left, a single bowline with too short tail and no stopper knot. |

| Another sloppy bowline. |

| How about tightening your knots, is that a concept? |
| We use the cordalette and carabiners because we paid for them, right? Note the clove hitch, backed up by an overhand knot, both rubbing against the rock. |
| Expensive prep school anchor, Dead Preppies might make a good name for a band. The carabiner is an unnecessary link in the chain and the tree is too small. |
| Everybody should have 2 anchors? Not if one is a potential projectile. |
| Single bowline in 8mm, this is where not using the double bowline can make a difference. |
| The tiny wire to the root is such a joke.This tree isn't that good, as you can see, what you can't see is even less soil around the other side. Note the redundant carabiner on the red rope. |
| So many things. Non-locking carabiners, dog bones, and a daisy chain, along with the 8mm cordalette. So they used everything they owned. |
| There were lots of trees, they used the smallest. |
