    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    That's pretty much what Im planning except rather than tree frog, I'm looking at work RADS. This was suggested by mikewhite85, post #16. Not too much different but RADS looks like it uses a little less gear.

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    The grigri2 is for the RADS set up. I don't have small hands but the max rope Ø on the grigri2 is 11mm!? I'm rationalizing spending this much money by saying that I'm going to save money by doing palms, but in reality, I'd like to climb other things too so I may need the longer lanyard. Plus...

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    I think I'm gonna give RADS a try. Can anyone recommend a harness in the $250 range?

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    RADS looks promising. Would this be prefered over a tree frog setup? I'm still looking for an alternative to throwing over the top of the palm, but I'm having trouble finding any examples of pushing a running bowline up the tree, so going over the top may be my only option?

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    I also worried about them being to flimsy or awkward. I then talked to a guy that uses them for their intended purpose; hunting. He said they work great. Although hunters do it without a second TIP, I don't think I would. As far as safety goes, would a flip line be a sufficient back-up? I'd...

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    I saw these several months ago when I first started searching for a better method, but since this is not for profit, it's out of my price range. This is what lead me to contemplating the hunting tree stand. I saw a video on youtube where a Hawaiian company was using a modified climbing tree...

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    My neighbors back yard, lol. It's about 30' right now and I believe it's still growing. It may be done, but regardless, if there is a safer way to get up there, I'd like to attempt it. This was on my list of considerations. So I think I may focus my research along this path. Thanks This is...

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    That's why I'm here! I'm going to do it. How safely depends on how much help I get. I don't expect to be spoon fed, just pointed in the right direction, and maybe a safety check before I buy or do something. I'm not going to do something I'm not 100% comfortable with. Please don't forget...

    Cali blow to the little guy.

    Who will benefit? Undocumented workers who don't have business licenses anyways! They have nothing to lose and they'll never get caught. Meanwhile the law abiding business owners get squeezed out. This is what people need to realize. When regulation becomes overbearing, you drive industry...

    Climbing queen palms, help needed

    Hello. I've been trimming queens with an extension ladder, but now they are approaching 30' and the ladder is becoming dangerous. I was really considering using a tree stand and flip line but after some reading also want to consider more traditional approaches such as... an SRT and ascender...
