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?

I see a bit of green, which tells me the tree is alive. At that size, if it can survive a windstorm, it can survive a climber's fall.

Local beta is that the tree is bomber. It does feel that way but may not stay that way forever

Either way some gear in the cracks cant hurt as backup
