When does a person become a "tree surgeon"?
Alasdair replied to Perkins's topic in Training & education
im not really sure how my opinion will go down here but here goes, i think a tree surgeon is someone who has cs 30, 31, 38 and 39 and 5 years experience and an arborist is all of above with at a good few more years experience -
well im not working just now so im out most days but still can get comfortable coming back in the branch while tightening my prussik
-
when you tie in you have your anchor point and you can do a branch walk with 1 line or use two lines ie another anchor point and use your other prussik. i lost marks on my climbing test because i didnt uses two anchor point when doing my branch walk.
-
when you guys do branch walking and ive tied in to you anchor point, do you go out the branch with the one prussik or two? my point on this is i am able to go out with one prussik or two but when it comes to going back in i struggle with keeping my balance and using my prussik at the same time. is there any advise you can give me to make this process any easier? i look forward to the help i get since any help ive had in the past has been great. cheers
