  8. When ever my mate had to climb like this he moaned he was like a dyslexic spider!
  9. Agree completely, leave it to the individual to decide!
  10. I'm not big on safety, I free climb if it's quicker to do so, I described how we had to climb when we were working for Sse. The op asked about using two ropes, he is a young climber gaining experience and wants to try different methods so I just shared my experience of using two ropes. I rarely use two ropes now and hated being made to, but I think if youngsters can climb quickly an efficiently this way then why nit
  11. Hi rich, when I worked for Sse I had to climb with two separate ropes and an lanyard and I had to have two points of attachment at all times. This was their rule for any tree climbing. It is a proper pain in the ass when climbing a small apple tree or topping a fir hedge but could be quite good in lager trees. I always used a prussik on each rope but a few of the lads use 2 hitch climbers. Use 11mm rope to make everything a bit lighter, and have two different colour ropes so you can keep track of which on is which, take a short lanyard with you. Some trees you will want to climbe with two ropes, but a lot of trees you will find you only need one and a lanyard
  12. A person doesn't need to have a ticket to be a good operator and just because you have a ticket doesn't mean a person is a good operator and legally a contractor does not need PL insurance
