Its better now mate Still gonna take it half easy but to be honest everyone i sub too has called work off until next week, Due to snow, So by the time i get back to work it should be fine and dandy mate I climbed a small Birch last week, One of my own jobs and that went well,

 

The reason i like the prussik is because im not a very confident climber, As you know i dont climb alot, Hopefully that'll change next year, I like the fact that when i pull down and push the knot up, if i were to slip or fall it would lock where it is, With hitch climbers and all that, When ive seen guys use them, 2 or 3 arm lengths of rope then pull the slack threw, i always think if i were to slip or fall then, id drop 2 or 3 arms lengths of rope before it locked, Again hopefully all that will change when i become more confident

 

 

Oh and sorry to de-rail abit haha

No worries Liam . It just takes a bit of time and before you know it you will be sick of all the small trees and be cravin the big uns like Gavin off here . Glad your getting better . I,m just starting to try and make things a bit less of a strain . I tryed the pulley behind the blakes on a decent birch the other day quite liked it . I even had a play at our yard on a Ash tree using the hand over hand realy liked it again . Only prob was the massive pulley I used . So I am investing a few hundred quid on new kit cams pulleys .

Good stuff mate, Healthy body, healthy mind and all that I do like seeing other techniques getting used, Thats one reason i love being self employed and subbing to different people, seeing different climbers and how they do it, Makes it all more interesting and keeps me learning new stuff all the time, Even after 10 years i can see someone else do it a different way, I love that about this job!!
