 Re: Is this tree safe to climb? How would you do it?
Since your a beginner,no it isn't safe for you.That tree is rotton and i noticed the conks and the depression/cavity on the trunk.It also looks like it is growing out of a stump as well.You need to find a tree that is alive and healthy maybe not a bad idea to have an arborist come out and inspect it prior to you climbing it.Make sure until you get better you tie in to a limb no less than 4" diameter,just until you can spot defects and such.practice using your throw line and weight or monkey's fist until you get good at it and like mentioned before start off low and use fool proof friction hitches like tautline,blakes,prusik,etc. |
