 Re: Is your high point above or below the rigging point?
Yeah great theory BUT....
Your rigging is always going to place greater loads on the anchor than a climber will.
So your rig point is up high on smaller diameter stuff and more likely to breakout.
Wheres it gonna fail?
The tree doesnt know where your T.I.P. is! It wont necessarily fail above it.
It will fail at the weakest point, wherever that may be.
Also a climber with a T.I.P too low will struggle to get around the canopy as safe & efficient as they should. Then wonder why they cant get far enough out on branches to cut where they should. |
