Dr Steve, the origionals were cambium savers. These were a leather tube that the rope ran through over the anchor point and protected the cambium. With some fiddling these can be installed from the ground. Practical side was they dont reduce friction, but save the tree. I believe years ago Sherrills used to do them, but not sure if they are still stocked.

 

The more modern approach is a friction saver. These are usually fabric with two rings. Many, many other variations have sprung up from this over the years, all having varying designs, costs and obviously differing personal opinions of them. These "friction savers" also protect the cambium and are of greater benefit to the climber(on the friction side of things).
