I can tell buy this guys work positions, he is very good!

He has pulled a little sneaky by tying in behind him with his D rings, the guys good.:thumbup1:

 

So what is the technique to tie in at the back? Reverse your lanyard (so its at the back) and then connect that to your climbing/restraining line?

Think he's got flexible side D's and clipped his main line into one.

Don't try it without first getting a second attachment point.

I believe most side D's are not rated to be used this way.

Never needed a back anchor in 15 years of climbing.

He just did a quicky, if he had stood up, got his ropes on his other side, stropped in a little pulley or crab as a redirect, or even put his ropes around the above limb he would of been in a much better work position ergonomically and from a rescue point of view .

If he took a wobble and slipped, left hanging backwards from your side d's wouldn't be cool.

If you are starting out climbing, stick to the basics, they are there for a reason .:)
