How far can you climb above your anchor?

[Jammydogg]

Nah, I've been waiting for ages to be the sarciest guy on arbtalk!

 

All set for Sat?

 

 

Have u?? I thought u were 1st in line with mark as 2nd in command. "The arbtalk jesters" 😭

 

Yep, hoping for good weather

Jack Kenyon said in one of his lectures lat a fall of about 1ft onto your rope was enough to pull the aorta out of your heart!

 

Does the aorta have a socket ?

if your worried about falling, what the heck are you doing up a tree in the first place

Hi mate, not worried about falling just needed an answer for my college work which I think I have now

 

Cheers:thumbup:

Falling is not the problem.

 

 

Landing, now that's the tricky part!😜

How bogus can you get?

 

At that rate most daily activities would kill you, jumping off a chair would be fatal and adventurous types like bungee jumpers would be pure suicide.

The assessment scheduled says ' climb no higher than 250mm or 10" above your anchor and have no more than 500mm of slack in your climbing system'.

I am going to kill myself.

Pretty sure I must already be dead

I've recently taken to free climbing simply using "The Force" as my safety net.

 

It worked for Luke Skywalker after all.

 

Clenching a Zubat between my jaws I move around the crown in complete confidence by imagining the ground to be 1m from wherever I be.

I wondered why a strange man was walking through and crushing my neighbours 1 meter high hedge with a silky in his mouth

Depends who you want to keep happy...the tree officer who specced a 0.5m reduction or the HSE bod...neither of whom have any practical experience
