hello maybe I am out of line trying to post a new thread on my first day here, and you probably had this thread in the past, but am I an inconsiderate jerk because I climb with spikes? In this area that is the only way people climb, that was how I learned. Of course I use a saddle, lanyard, and climbing line at the same time, I know there are other ways to get up there, but is any other method as fast? I won't use my gaffs to trim a Beech, Birch, or other smooth bark "pretty tree". But it's a pain in the butt to do it any other way, UNLESS, somebody can guide me in the right direction. Thanx in advance for all replies. Oh yeah, I got my new Sherrill catalog today, don't quite get that other bowline in it, how is it any better or easier than the running bowline?( maybe this belongs in a different thread) be safe
