I am helping a friend put together some basic equipment for securing himself in his pine tree. He has a drone and he wants to get up high and see the drone above the treetops =)
He will have steps mounted on the tree for easy climbing, but for security I'm thinking SRT rope with an Petzel ID. He'll stay on the rope until he's back on the ground.
My question is - is there any reason he shouldn't use a rock climbing harness?
When I climb trees for pruning or removal I have a TreeAustria harness, I've noticed that arborist harnesses are generally much more expensive than rock climbing ones. But he will not be using any cutting equipment, just spending leisure time up in the tree.
