yeh...if you're not a climber you shouldn't try this one without assistance.
there are other, better techniques for climbing trees than the standard climber's prussiking method. the gear is slightly different too. diff rope, thicker prussiks so you can descend with them more easily and different harness.
try some arbour/tree lopping type resources/courses.
basically you tie one end to your harness, chuck the other end over a branch and hook it into your harness with a prussic. With some good technique and a bit of hip thrusting you can haul yourself up, shifting the prussic up as you go. |
