Hahahaha no zigzag, bigger climbs a distill/ French prusik with a pulley but that as technical as I’ve got. Used a friends zigzag set a few years back but just found it a hindrance as it was on a load of reductions and without a direct line I found it a struggle. I think I need to just stop being so stubborn and just stick at it, I guess sometimes change can be good. I remember watching one of regs videos back along and he was saying it had helped his body etc.

I don’t think in general climbing is destructive, with regards to your body. 

 

All my problems have been been due to lifting logs/rings of wood etc.

 

So, eliminate the heavy lifting, and you’ll be right for a good while imho.

I get tired in the afternoon so look to get out of the harness by 3 at the latest if at all possible. If you’ve priced it right that should be doable.

 

If there’s a lot of heavy lifting involved, and I can’t get the loader in, I bung another hundred on the job and hire a strong young sort who relishes that sort of thing and leave them to it.
