I didn't notice your commitment Khriss! I was too busy ranting! ? I might get one of these. Looks like you can lock it shut too. and it comes with "Strong and hardness" and a "Shrapnel bolt" for when it explodes I guess? Plus the photos show a naked looking bloke climbing a cliff so it must be good right?

Paddy Thankyou for defending the older generation wishing to start a new career in tree surgery ? you may have an onslaught of negative responses sorry. However if it works out for me the great and if it doesn’t then At least I tried. I have to work another 25 years before I can retire and I need a challenge and by the sounds of it it will be just that. Obviously no one my age must be tree surgeons  !!!!! Looks like I have my first spiteful response ? thank goodness for positive forward thinkers like you x

Good to have input from some of the more "well seasoned" climbers! Everyone says how it's a young guys game and anyone over 35 won't be able to climb anymore. I feel with new tech (climbing systems, AV systems on saws etc and new techniques (srt) us younger guys should be able to carry on with a lot less physical damage!
