Thanks for the long reply,Im only on the crew so we make our daily target,do tricky/big stuff.We have 3 set crew (x2 3man,x1 2man crews) and the other crews all have competant climbers, Its frustrating,will have a team meeting to sort it, Cheers

Hi, Just wondering who has access lines in the tree whilst working in case of an emergency and from what size tree? (ie anything above 10m) I work in a 2man crew and im the main climber and groundy has climbing kit but isnt a very competant climber,and i wouldnt trust him to rescue me tbh, Company is all about health and saftey,have mentioned my concerns to foreman, What should i do,my life on the line??

Mark,I have a small 15cm sling set as a prussic on the none working end and a fishermans attached to my side,means u can create a smaller loop of the excess rope and wont get caught up,then if you need the whole lanyard move it the then end. My lanyard is about 4m.
