Cable Type recreational Tree Climbing?
Ok, so I would first recreational tree climbing with ropes, spurs not. I am a climber and I have quite a bit of experience in rigging and anchors on the rise rope. My question is: "Do I need an arborist rope to climb trees, so I have all the other gear Why? I can not simply use a 7 / 16 "static rope? The reason I ask is because many of my blocker probably will not work on the rope arborist, and I do not want to buy a new piece of equipment when I have what I think I have already. Moreover, what is a buckstrap for? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
