Name everything wrong with this picture
|
This is how I saw people climbing at Mineral Wells state park, just west of Ft. Worth. |
|
color of webbing and towel don't match. big no no. other than that, looks solid. |
|
shoulda put duct tape around the hangar to protect the sling. Then, use any extra to tape down the towel!! |

Wow! Gear must be hard to come by in Fort Worth. Must be more of a beach town. |
|
looks good, other than the noobs had extra towel and didn't bother to run it up closer to the bolt as that rock looks real sharp. Thats eff'n bomber! |
|
That looks like his mom's good linens, what an absolute shame. |
|
Question to the OP - was there only one bolt present? Seems strange to only install a single bolt for a TR anchor. |

Im guessing this is on top of a boulder, maybe 30ft? seems like a pretty common thing for routes that you don't want to boulder but are too short to bolt as a sport line. looks like a perfectly good anchor for that situation if that is actually what is going on. and to the OP, this is a pretty lack luster troll of a post, next time maybe wait at least a month between opening an account and posting things like this. |
|
it that towel from the martha stewart collection at k mart? |
|
The basic problem is the colour of the rock, it isn´t limestone so worthless anyway. |
|
the guy who took the picture admitted he was climbing in texas |
|
It's quite obvious what is wrong - the carabiner is loaded over an edge. It would be much better if they toproped ("sideroped"?) directly through the webbing, eliminating the carabiner altogether! |
|
There is a spooge stain on the towel. As we all know, spooge, like battery acid, can degrade dynema and cause mico-fractures in aluminum. |
|
Looks good from here. |
|
There is a DIEneema sling in the anchor. I can't tell you exactly how yer gunna die but there will almost certainly be shock loading involved. |
|
In my opinion I would have put a biner on the bolt hanger as well and not just hitched through it and the biner on the opposite end is clipped to another biner? I dont like the idea of having a sling loaded over the edge of a bolt hanger for extended periods of time. |
