  1. Ive been working in this industry for a year now and have been learning to climb for the last 2 to 3 months. My boss and mentor is an old school climber with 25 years of experience and he learned to climb and mostly climbs SRT never had an issue in his career, but i am learning with 2 ropes as i just feel safer that way, every time ive climbed SRT i feel extremely exposed. Obviously this is because of my lack of understanding of the tolerance of the anchor points across the different types of trees, but i still personally feel that its better to be safe than sorry when even falling from a few feet could drastically change a life. I guess one argument is that ropes can also cause life changing accidents and having more increases those risks. Not sure which type of accidents are more common though. Let me know what you think
