Our instructor Mr Mitchell, an expert tree climber himself informs our TY students of the safety requirements needed when climbing a tree with a harness.
A tree climber sits in the harness throughout the entire climbing session, so pros like Mr Mitchell use comfortable models with wide webbing and substantial padding.
Mr Mitchell points out that the typical spare, lightweight rock harness would quickly cut circulation to the legs of an arborist and become very uncomfortable.
Our TY students really enjoyed the session
