Anyone else think that some of those pics could be a great tutorial on how to wedge/lift a boulder with cams?

Which should probably be posted in a non-climbing forum so they can be torn apart there.

Actually, I have seen cams lift of boulder with heavy load once so yes, you do have good point

It's hard to tell from the picture, but what kind of Franken-knot are you using in the red webbing at the big locker? Looks like it could be a clove hitch or maybe a messed up bowline.
sometimes they use an extra loop to shorten the distance between the legs if one is longer than the other one if that is knot what you referring on the biner closer to protection

No, I'm talking about the master point of the red webbing. Some sort of Munter/clove/bowline with an extra wrap in there.

should be a fat fig 8 with multiple cord going thru it where normally clove H is not allowed anywhere.

Was that photographer wearing blue leggings with hiking boots and a red shell jacket? You think he bought those leggings fromn the womens department at JC Penney? Or maybe from something more trendy, like H&M.

Where's the problem exactly? One of the anchors doesn't perfectly mirror one of the reference figures of a SRENE anchor in a John Long book? Oh noes!

Just one question - did they build better anchors AFTER the anchors training? Cuz I see a bunch of cams-in-choss, single failure points, and non-distributed load.

How many different ways can you say clusterf**k?
Assuming that this is "rescue" training, since it's a non-climbing anchor thread and the overall air of condescention, you guys can please stay away from me. Pick up your radio and call some climbers to build some "climbing anchors" to come get me.
How long was that sloping tyro you tensioned off that little boulder? And what makes you think that cobble wall won't just fall apart IF the boulder decides it wants to lever? Depending on the type of rock I think that thing will weigh somewhere between half a ton and a ton. Probably closer to half. Did you bolt it AND wrap it? I guess I'll stop the useless criticisms there as I'm not sure if you are serious....

Correct. You should use zeros--as in n00b.
