I was surprised to see someone sling a tree root and two pieces on the same tree. The not pictured 3rd anchor was solid in rock. What are your thoughts?

    Looks like the rope is just passed between the trunk and the root, with the lockers simply clipped to the rope, meaning if one piece pops, you’re just on the rock, kinda sketch

      Yeah, the slung root is what caught my eye, but the single cordelette with no knots running through all 3 points looks sketch to me. I don’t think there is actually a knot anywhere. Just a twist at the anchor point. I think if any part of the cordelette rope goes, the whole thing goes. I mean I didn’t want to sit and critique someone elses anchor in depth. But I did get a pretty good look while setting up mine.

      The wide angles between all the pieces too.
