Neither rain nor greasy rock nor muddy shoes shall keep the Climbing Industrial Complex from making money..

Lots of extra rope, they didn't need the small cord and carabiners. The mantra is "Fewest links in the chain."

Is that six inches, AMGA?

How many things wrong

Three feet up the tree, taking up part of a trail. Despite having lots of rope they add an unnecessary runner and carabiners.

See all that fungus, that means a really dead tree (See Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch). Single strand webbing, just so all there anchors suck.

This probably took real effort.

Spring break

Such a bad idea, the rope can wear hard on the webbing.

How many things wrong? 1. Loose block anchor 2. Tiny tree 3. Maybe 8MM anchor 4. Webbing is side loading the carabiners 5. The webbing anchor creates a system over 90 degrees, so it is actually weakening the system.

The black vultures approve.

Tiny alpine runner with a single carabiner. Note the hollow tree.

Dead trees.

Hoping for disaster?

Why the AMGA figure 8 guideline was a terrible, terrible idea.

A tensionless anchor on their little tree is a good thing, as we saw last week. Using the carabiner, not so good. They can be stolen. On the same anchor...

They taught you the prusik, not a bad thing, but don't leave it here where anybody can take it. 

AMGA said don't use  stopper knot on the figure 8, no surprise we are starting to see bowlines without one.

The other anchor, same thing. If you are going to do dogma, you have to own the results., just ask the Pope.

Figure 8? Figure 9? No, figure it out.

You bought your rope too short, and thin, and naked and...

The 9MM rope was too short so he went with slings with carabiner gates pointing down so they can be forced open. The dinky tree is supplemented by another chock anchor, which is always a bad idea in this rock.

Tourists

Maybe they are tourists and don't have much to anchor with. Hardware is not a good idea, much less in loose  blocks.

Neither block is bedrock, note the carabiner pointing down, likely to be forced  open.

It is bedrock but would you like something bigger?

There is plenty of rope to sling the block in the foreground. No need for all the shaky piece, runner and two dogbones.
