My 2 cents worth on the photo,
It would seem as if the climber was "previously" tied in twice. Once on the main climbing line (to our right) and once on her Grillon (gree-on) to our left.

If the photo was taken immediately after a switch-over or re-direct, things can normally look a bit cluttered on the climber. The best thing to do after a redirect (or un-rigging after a cut), is to find a comfortable place to pause and re-organize all your gear so it is not under foot as you maneuver through the canopy and set up for the next cut,
or photograph, or whatever it was you were doing in a tree in the first place.

Other observations. . .
The climber has a Grillon and a daisy rope and a gear bag and some other device hanging off her line which I cant make out. It appears as if these shots were taken at a rigging class, perhaps setting up tree boats. Hence, anything is possible in the way of tie-ins or gear set-ups.

Good Day
