No rope... No means of using it?
Well they say a picture can be worth a thousand words. Well here's a couple of pics that might help describe how you " could" use a climbing line in a tree.
The benefits are numerous. What if you need something sent up to you? What if you cut your leg, and can't just spike back down the tree? What would you did if this type of situation occurred? How much more difficult would it make it in an aerial rescue scenario? (if the climber has no line)
Possible methods of attachment:
1. Running bowline chokered off on the stem. Basically work on a single rope.
2. Rope guide( preferred method)
3. Friction Saver double wrapped
Even if you don't "need it" It's still a good idea to have it there just in case.
