Tiny trees seem more popular.

A couple of cams were probably intended as a directional, they are holding a lot of the weight.

Two tiny trees with mystery knots, and way up on the trunk. The one in the foreground moves when you push it.


Strangle those hikers!

How high is your anchor?

About as high as they could reach.

Both gates bumping against the rock.


 

All good, right?

A cam in a crack formed by a detached block and a hollow tree.

Dead tree, tiny tree, high anchor, and the climbing rope dragging across the rock.

They can't stay away.

Everything is half-assed: tiny tree, tiny runner, single carabiner, gate down, unstable clove hitch and a botched fisherman's knot. What's not to like?

More crap from Amazon.

No name carabiner and webbing from Amazon.

Yes, that's a slack line as an anchor.

Mystery gear attaching the slack line to a tree.

Rip those trees out.


 The anchors are way up those small trees, hard on the trees, more importantly the climber can hit the ground several feet up the climb, when the trees bend.
