    Is this rope any good for recreational tree climbing?

    I suggest a static line 100% I started out climbing on REI's static 11mm PMI

    the guy who owns this land is like a second father to me and charged me and his son with getting rid of the tree with no power tools. if power tools were allowed, I would never have climbed the tree I would have cut a notch at the base to direct the fall, put a control line about where I was...

    that is very true indeed, like I said im also a minor and only have about 2k invested in climbing I have a 100ft rope 2 50ft and then my accessory cord and hardware so that 200' rope would be nice and quite useful at times I just done have one yet.

    thank you for the advice, I'm trying to get an internship with Bartlett full time over the summer. I think right now just sticking to my rec climbing is best and looking to find a experienced climber from Bartlett to shadow and learn form would be important before I even think bout taking out...

    I agree about understanding the safety aspect and wearing a helmet, I need a teacher to help me understand my limits and help me get better. without this forum and people telling me hey this is stupid the only other way I would've learned is by getting hurt. because you guys see the flaws in...

    I've been climbing for about a year now I agree that this job was a bit much to take on, no one has been hurt which has been good. I don't mean to come across arrogant but I have the confidence to do the work I just lack the expertise of notch cutting as im using hand saws and hatchets.( I know...

    thank you for the feedback, I agree that this was not a good removal experience. the green rope on the fallen branch was a pull line so that we could better direct the fall of the branch. it is also difficult when the tree is at at 75degree lean. the tree is parallel to the ground for about 20...

    It’s also a 15-20ft drop that we need to get the limbs away from their play set off to the right, we couldn’t climb any higher safely because of the lean of the tree and couldn’t just fell the tree because of the play set so we did the best we could do with the materials at had

    very good suggestion, I also do at least put a stopper knot a few feet off the ground when I climb in the case of me sliding down the rope. I have found that the mini ascender is larger enough to grip so I don't need to spend the extra money on a specialized hand ascender. me and my friend are...

    Thoughts? ideas to improve?

    Im experimenting more with lanyards as most trees I climb are a 50ft ascent then spread out at the top so the canopy mobility is important. I want my lanyard to have the capability of being a small secondary climbing system as well. Im getting a petzl shunt micro ascender that im going to try...

    minimalist lanyard style?

    its an 11mm PMI E-Z bend rope, thanks for all the advice everyone! I agree the pinto and multi sling combo is a bit bulky for a minimalist setup I try to use the multi sling choked around a branch with the pinto at the end for a DRT setup moving around the canopy. but I do need a longer...
