Now I'm not telling you to spike up your prune's or that pantin's shouldn't be used, but I'm just saying fast and easy isn't always good for you. |
What??? that logic doesn't make a bit of sense!!!
Here's another way to apply your logic. If you walk to work you'll be much more aware of the driver who is about to run the red light and plow into your car. That makes walking safer.
Maybe you could just drive a little slower and become a proper defensive driver.
Any of my vehicles...except the chip truck...is capable of going over 90 MPH. Do I drive that fast? NO!
Do you think that using SRT makes me climb so fast that I don't take time to look at the tree? I'm just ol' Hayduke not Spiderman
There is little 'beauty' in using DdRT to access the crown of a tree compared to the easy of SRT. Years from now your body will complain about the hard use from hard climbing. I;ll be working still...
Open your mind to the ease of SRT. There are more people ascending SRT in the rope world that the way that arbos do. For simple ascent SRT is the best way no discussion.
