Not what he thought.

This is NOT a tensionless anchor.

Plenty of rope, the carabiner and webbing are unnecessary and introduce risk.

A rope that could tie off the Titanic.

This enormous rope is barely hanging on to the rock. The rock is loose and too small. Webbing is less likely to roll off the rock.

,
Plenty of rope and webbing but both come up short. The climbing rope is running over sharp edges.

First time in recorded history.

They DIDN'T tie off the tree 20 feet up in the air.

Lots of brand new rope.

The top carabiner is critical to the anchor, the bottom one is pointless.

Any anchor that needs 2 four foot daisy chains has got to be a mistake.

Nobody can tie a knot anymore.

Two daisy chains at center, cams, webbing, 2 trees, complexity decreases security.

He criticized other people's anchors

Short tail,no stopper knot, one of the few things known to have killed people.

You can call it a backup, but it's still a bad anchor

The orange rope could sling both boulders. Why partially sling the boulder at right with single strand, old webbing?

Yes, those are half hitches.
