Good pics, just watch your binner in last pic they don't like it like that. I use lamb docking rings to make sure rope don't move.

Great tree for your first climb ED!...i climb in an Austria duo 2......great harness......but like the lads have noticed.....don,t load you karabiner through the gate....not good.....you can use a larks foot or small rubber rings to secure your climbing line/prussick....always,always climb safe!....and welcome to the wonderful world of the climbing arborist..

The larks foot is a great way of keeping your ropes stuck right way up on biners.

 

will try to get an image for you tommorow.

 

great thread idea, will scan in one of me from 17 years old up a scots pine with the old aliminium style o20t!
