New contenders for worst.
Yes, that's the climbing rope, a single 9/16 runner, on the smaller trunk.
Another tiny tree. Hopefully, they will wear out their climbing rope before something bad happens.

Just because it was expensive doesn't mean it is a good idea to use it.

Too cold? Not for some.
How smart is it to add an unnecessary carabiner and an unstable knot? A bowline would be as adjustable but more secure.
The yard sale anchor, lay out everything you own. Note the lower carabiner with the gate facing into the rock.

Hundreds of dollars in gear, he came up to get it when I told him about the last guy who lost $400 that way.

Flaccid means it isn't working.
The loose rope going to the skinny trees isn't really part of the system.

Why those pear shaped carabiners aren't great.
They can get crosses. Also note the webbing girth hitched to skinny rope.
