ArboristSite Lurker
Hello everyone, I am new to this site but have been lurking around for a long time. Lots of good info here. I am very much an amateur tree climber/arborist. I climb the trees around my property to trim them and occasionally I do some tree removal and trims for other people.
My question is what would you consider the minimum diameter of a limb that your rope would go over for a SRT access. 90% of the trees I climb are conifers, fir, cedar, hemlock, and spruce. These trees normally don’t have natural crotches. I personally have set a 'not less than three inch limit'. Any input and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Pat.
