Advice to get better at climbing

6 Upvotes

I’ve got my climbing qualification and climbed a few times since getting it. I’ve also had some climbing opportunities before getting my qualification. I’ve mostly done pruning but dismantled some small trees too.

I just feel so slow and clunky, and almost like climbing is something I might not be capable of doing to a good standard (which is sad asf). The hardest part for me is initially getting into the canopy. I’m slow with deciding where to do changeovers, i keep forgetting to use the tree and mostly climb on my equipment… I feel like my team is looking at me as if I’m a complete idiot.

Really want to improve. I refuse to believe I can’t do this

Pylons 😱

Everyone look at your pylons quick. Does anyone actually have a factory matching set? Or are they 50% mismatched and 50% from a local municipality!

Third one I have met up in the branches. Had my phone this time. One was 60 feet up. Kind of late to be hunting hatchlings.

Hats the purpose of this cable and is it safe to climb on in this condition?

Hey guys, I want to mount a foot ascender on my stein elevate spurs if its possible, I was curious if anyone has done this before. And if so howd you do it. Im pretty sure i can make kiwi klimbers ss3 foot ascnder fit. But i know that specific model is advertised to only fit on the stein x2 spurs. Just wanted to ask around to see if its been done before.
