Not what they mean when they say use two anchors, and what's with the wraps around the smaller trunks?

Camps are back.
After school activities aren't in full swing so parents are paying for their kids to go climbing. These "guides" doubled up on a dead tree (see the fungus on the bark) as an anchor. The tree is being pulled towards the edge, if it falls, it could crush any number of children. Note the nearby tree that fell a couple of years ago, narrowly missing a family.

Don't leave stuff at the top of the crag.
There is plenty of rope, instead they added a runner , carabiner, and clove hitch, all points of failure.
Weird collection of mediocre anchors, the jackpot is the cam, cell phone and Gri-gri, waiting to be stolen.

It's spring, they crawl out from under rocks.
The red webbing is clipped to the black ropes for what purpose?
All that black rope could simply tie around the tree, eliminating three points of failure.
