Recreational treeclimbing...Would hunting from a treestand count?.....

General definition of recreational tree climbing is using rope and harness techniques to climb trees for fun and adventure. If you have good technical tree climbing skills it will make climbing trees for deer hunting much safer.

In a tall conifer I use SRT to reach where the branches begin in the crown and then switch over to climbing "alt lanyard" technique using a short and along adjustable lanyard attached to the center of the harness (not the D's) until I reach the top of the tree.
