It only took one day.

 

NPS cut off the top of the dead tree, it only took one day for someone to anchor to it.

Think the pile will keep away morons?

 

Lots of ugly.

 Use the skinny stuff to sling the boulder, and put the anchor way up the tree.

The holidays always bring out folks who don't climb much.

This tree wobbles when you grab it.

Plenty of rope to tie off the boulder, no need for the skinny runner and carabiner.

 

Where does this come from?

 

Looks like two anchors going to a single carabiner.

Ratty good webbing in a single strand, plus 2 wire gate carabiners with the gates on the same side.

Unclear on the concept.

See all that rope. A simple knot would replace weaker cordalette and single carabiner, two unnecessary links in the anchor chain.

 

Missed it by THAT much>

Got piles of rope but let's use that cordalette and single strand webbing.

Just two more feet, yes that's the climbing rope dragging over the rock.
