That work would be a nightmare with pegs left allover the place...Even the one or two would put a spanner in the works...Thats been my experience.

You gotta use spikes. Gaffs are a tool from the armoury. Thet are there to make life easier. Use them...if younknow when & how..Seems reasonable right?

Hama "pegs allow for a secondary accses line should someone need to come and get you. in a hurry.."

A fair point mate...there is no reason you shouldnt install a rescue line at the beginning of works tho' is there? IF you are "jumping" up a tree after to rescue and freeclimbing on pegs to do it....you are more of a problem than anything else...IMO

not exactly what I had in mind! the rescue line needs to be re positioned all the time as you slab down, pegs on the opposite side to the throwing/dropping line cause no issues, give your feet a break and a bit more stable ground from which to shove huge slabs off. pegs allow you to just flick the rescue line down to the next point at 6ft intervals you have at your feet the rescue line as you stand on that peg ringing down the 6ft above as slabs?

it sounds so easy when saying it, but on a slippy banking full of debris, the 8 inch diameter 50foot straggly trees are 6 feet deep in ivy and the banking is about a 1 in 2 gradient. OR, just stick on the spikes and climb up easily:001_smile:
