How much daylight would you like in your placement?

It's sort of buried

Really, it's not as bad as it looks.

Same thing, different day


What's a good Carderock anchor?

Double bowline around the base of each tree

One inch webbing slid over the 3/8" static line.
This brand new static rope was used on one climb.
Not old webbing.

Really?

How not to dog an 11.b.

How high up the tree? Four feet, five feet, single strand webbing, single biner, it goes on and on.

This is a second anchor but let's be honest here: 1. hardware is dubious at Carderock, small wire, more dubious, 2. single non-locking carabiners, 3. one has gate down towards the rock.
