Joke or was the only option for that route? qwert
It is a demonstrative placement at ground level. It was absolutely bomber though. The flare is only in front of the placement. Where the knot is, it is not flaring at all, it is actually a textbook constriction.
Yes, it is an Ankertau, bought mail order from Hamburg. Cost me as much as a BD cam, and weighs more than my entire 60m rope (it weighs 3.5kg, my rope's less than 3) 
I have actually carried and placed it though. I placed it where the crack continues to widen, above the top of this pic:
