hi,
i'm looking to get into climbing some big trees (well big for here). looking to top out at around 150 foot.
i climb regularly for work and pleasure, but i'm keen to tackle some giants out on the mountains!
i'll be using a bigshot to get my rope set as high as i can and then advancing my rope whilst in the tree using a throw line.
i regularly use a double rope with blakes hitch, either footlocking, body thrusting or trunk walking. some of these trees are too big to get a lanyard around.
i'm curious about single rope technique using ascenders.
any ideas on how others climb big trees would be excellent!
Thanks!
