if you noticed my reply was in response to ...
"1. The high girth hitch I assume was problematic because it creates greater torque on the tree
2. Only having a single rope is dumb because there is no backup if the only anchor fails. "
its not the girth hitch thats the problem in this case ... nor even a "single" rope ...
RC at is finest
