ladders ladders ladders ...spikes spikes spikes..:thumbup:

Nope, ladders pretty much always do it for me.

 

On the occasion that the big shot comes into play I normally get it stuck and have to resort back to ladders.

 

I am just AWFUL with a throw line.

 

I virtually never take ladders with me either, unless its a big hedge.

No throw bag, no ladders... Are you an accountant?

 

If not you must wear really high heels

No mate, I'm a climber. Like a proper one, that takes great pride in accessing the tree with out aid of gadgets.

 

I will throw my rope though.

Just pulling your leg mate

 

As said, I only use a throw line when I feel it would be quicker than ladders into the crown (not often). Some trees you can chuck a rope over a low branch, but many you just can't. Is this how you do it the majority of the time? I wouldn't have thought it to be very energy or time efficient (for me at least)

If using gadgets will prolong my climbing shelf life then I'm all for it.

I use whatever is gonna get the job done quicker. Back in the uk it was always a triple extended ladder 99% of the time if I was at the top of a ladder struggling to throw a rope then a throw line would come out but it was rare that I'd throw it. Here it's mostly always throw a rope or climb up as I said I do whatever is quickest to please the boss
