    Yes this really is a transition from rock climbing. Totally different but I like it enough to get proper gear. I guess using rock climbing rope to try it all out saves any expense in the event I didn't like tree climbing. I could get a photo - does the forum allow pictures from new joiners? My harness is an Edelrid rock climbing harness. The rope is Beal 10.5mm dynamic rope and the friction hitches come from abseiling. I bet that sounds terrible - but like I say I could very well have disliked climbing trees! Listing all that I am sure I should now run for cover in here - sorry dudes!

    I recently got involved with tree climbing with a friend who does this for a hobby. I have been really loving it and would like to do it more. I have been using a rock climbing harness which is not ideal and is very uncomfortable. Very little padding and not really designed for tree climbing. Could anyone recommend a decent harness? Also how did you get into arboriculture? It is something that has always fascinated me but more so now. My climbing has been done using 10.5mm dynamic rope and a cambium saver using a pulley to reduce friction. Connected to the harness using a double figure 8 rope and then a Blake's Hitch to a Carabiner on the friction side. Thanks for any help and Hello!
