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?

Sometimes people twist one side of the rope to prevent this, it's hard to tell from the picture. Personally, I prefer a master knot though. "Mountaineering the freedom of the hills" and "climbing anchors" are good books that describe these techniques as well as pros and cons.
