Anchors at the top. I took out a small old rusty quick link and added a big one and a rap ring. It's still a mess but is a little better.

This is the Crow's nest above and right of the P1 anchor for Tethys. This is NOT a peregrine falcon nest as has been erroneously reported. A peregrine would clear all those sticks away and use the rocky depression at the bottom (a scrape)to house the egg.
