I have a Spruce tree that is about 50' or so high and I have climbed up before using the branches like a ladder and working my way around. I know this is probably not the right way or the safest way, but it works.
I've seen some guys on youtube climbing and it seems lilke their rope is already tied on the top of the tree at the start of the video. I have no tree tree climbing training, just a lot of experience and no safety gear. If I'm to go about this the right way, do I first climb up, and set my rope then come down and climb up with my gear on using the rope? What is the proper and safe way ?
Thanks,
Brian
