| Lots of rope to replace the carabiner and runner. |
 |
| Same thing |
 |
| Lots of knots, what are they doing? |
 |
| The price tag is still on it. |
 |
| This is solid webbing, not tubular. It is faded to white and frayed. |
 |
| They don't make runners any thinner. |
 |
| Again enough stuff to eliminate the carabiner and red webbing. |
 |
| Yes all of these had single carabiners. |
 |
| 2 slings around the rock but only 1 to the climbing rope. |
 |
| The right side of the red sling slipped just after I took the picture. |
 |
| Let's overthink this. |
 |
| Two unnecessary links in the belay chain. Personally, I use the 3' diameter oak right behind the (probably alive) root. |
 |
| A tensionless anchor? Not really. A bight of the rope goes around the tree, followed by a failed half hitch. |
 |
| May qualify as a miracle. |
 |
| That's a piece of firehose padding the edge. The block is probably big enough, but it isn't bedrock. |
 |
| New 100' of static. You wouldn't want that nice new rope near the rock, right? |
 |
| Shiny new gear. They're from Colorado, don't know if they heard the rock doesn't hold gear. |
 |
| Two 7mm cords (one is around the block in the center), why not just buy enough rope? |
 |
| Tying everything together is better, right? Nylon on nylon, high anchor on the tree, lots going on. |
 |
| He said "I could just put a clove hitch on this knob." |
 |
| Lots of knots, but the tree is still only 3" in diameter. |
 |
| Ignore the black rope. The 3 anchors probably took everything he had in his pack. The runners in the center are looped over a loose block. |
