I am wondering what second security system I can add and climb with
Here is my question: I am planning on climbing with spikes.
I have a harness (like the one shown below) and a steel wire flipline.
What can I add to my system so I can add another safety net?
I have at my disposal a couple of caribiners and a section of climbing line (7/16'' thick, rated for 6500 lbs).
Can I tie a caribiner to one end and strap it to the harness on the O ring in front of the harness (orange one), have a prusik knot on the rope so I can manage lenght and at the other end have another caribiner tied to it that is choking the tree.
Would that make sense?
Cheers
