In reply to hazzeryoda:
> Can you tell me if adding in sling after sling after sling connected by karabiners/QDs in order to extend the master karabiners over the edge is dangerous in anyway? I have a cordelette and a load of 120cm or 240m slings so I literally daisy chained them several meters to the edge.
I've done this many times, depending on what gear I had available at the time. If you're worried, use screwgates or double up your karabiners and reverse the gates.
Or, you could simply belay from the top of the cliff and use your climbing rope and a couple karabiners to anchor yourself to the bolts. Sometimes this is a lot easier and faster.

Here's one way:

Replace the trees with bolts and karabiners. Clearly, you don't have to "wrap" around anything. I use a figure 8 at one anchor and clove hitch at the other.
> Also, is there any way you could realistically rig a top rope and equalised anchors (on a short <10m crag) using just one long rope?
Yes, as others have commented. Kind of a cluster though, isn't it?
