    Replacing then removing old steel cables

    I looked at a silver maple today that has two old steel cables. It had three, but one is broken and hanging. It's definitely a good candidate for cable support with four stems. The old cables are too low. Normally I would propose to install additional cables, higher and leave the old ones...

    What do you all do with broken/old/worn biners, ascenders, etc? Right now, I use broken gated Am'Ds for camping stuff, attaching the TreeBoat, but I'd rather drop them off to be recycled into more biners by Petzl. Or get a credit towards a new one, especially in the case of ascenders as it's...

    What does everybody do regarding gear when starting a new climber? Do you give them the old school and make them "earn" more evolved saddles, etc. Is there value in climbing on a Blake's hitch for 3 months and then switching? Looking for advice. We've done it one way up until now, but...
