    That is one of the characteristics of the harness you have to live with. On the bright side the willans is a great harness to learn to climb with.

    I like C's in winter and A's in summer, but because i insist my employees wear C's, I wear them too (lead by example, not be hypocritical and all that). We do alot of bramble and thorn work and C's are ideal protection.

    of course the height you put it depends on the nature of the tree. i.e. if the tree has been pollarded in the past you wouldn't attach above the pollard. Also rot, V shaped unins etc etc

    Personally i wouldn't put the rope as high in the tree as possible as the flex in the tree does not give such an even pull on the hinge. You also risk snapping the top of the tree out! Half to two thirds up is ideal.

    I can't help singing 'once, twice, three times a lady' when doing the three wraps of a timber hitch whilst rigging.

    M31 is correct in that powerline poles should not have foot pegs on them, however as seen here, that is not always the case.

    As will m said, lean back on your lanyard.do not try and get to close (hug) the pole as this increases the likelihood of gaffing out.
