Nice overview of your solo climbing method. All very safe. However, and I’ve been climbing since 1988, it’s always best practice to backup every anchor, no matter how bombproof (i.e., the tree) it might seem. Keep climbing!👍
Great straight up explanation of your set up. Looks bomber to me. Maybe backup the anchor on the chain? As you show not necessarily necessary. 😄 I substitute the top microtraxion with a CT RollnLock. The set up runs smoothly for me.
Some people use two strands and the redundancy seems safer but I feel like just the one strand is more convenient. Wouldn’t want to die cause of convenience but you think a single strand is good enough?
@@ericlin158 this is the reason I use rope protectors on sharp edges. Grab them on Amazon for super cheap. This gives you redundancy without carrying the weight of an extra rope
Another variation... Why even bother slinging the tree!? It's stronger to wrap the rope half a dozen times around the tree then clip it back to itself.

Extra Tip: don't step on your climbing rope like me 2:20 🤣
