Newbie here. Trap as in keeps the biner from rotating or something else?

Thanks. I see you're in Indy. I'm an hour south in Columbus. I've seen a few photos of leather tethers. I assume the eyes are cut snug. Does it stay in place well? Yep. I made the eyes tight enough that it took a little force to get the biner in the first time. I used one of my late '50s...

I'm wondering if there is any consensus (probably wishful thinking) on what works best as a tether for tending the HH. I made a wire tether from a high tensile strength bicycle wheel spoke which got bent up on my last climb when I wasn't using it. I was about to order a tether from TreeStuff...

I've been spotting a Scarlet Tanager in my woods the last few days. I haven't seen a female yet and wonder if she is already on a nest. Seems like I only see one every few years. An earlier thread mentioned the Pileated Woodpecker. There's always been a pair around here for the last 20 years...

Brand new recreational tree climber.

The photo was taken sitting on the HH. Standing up puts the chest roller almost to the HH. With the HH clipped directly to my harness (rock climbing type), if I attempt sit back onto it, the roller pushes the hitch down. Yesterday I used the HH clipped to the harness normally and the chest...

Taken a couple of days ago during my first try out of a new PMI Chest Roller. I had to mount the HH above the roller or the roller would keep the hitch from engaging....just a one time deal...won't happen again.

Complete noobie here. I suspected a chest roller would prevent my Hitch Hiker hitch from engaging and that's exactly what I found today. When I tried to sit in the harness on the HH, the PMI Chest Roller did a wonderful job of "tending" the hitch down preventing any engagement at all. FAIL! The...

Thanks....I knew this would be one of those "duh" moments.

Thanks, but the usual web stuff I usually get (I spend way too much time on the net) but when I found "i usually set my line with a rb near my best tie in, climb up, set the fs and work my way back down." I didn't have a clue. SRT, DRT, TIP I've got and most products like HH, RW or HRC can be...

Sorry, my name is Reed and I intended to sign my post. gmcttr is from gemcutter...a hobby I was doing the first time I had to come up with a username in the nineties.

I've been lurking here a few weeks and it's time to say hello. I'm a new recreational climber trying out different SRT's. Teaching myself with the help of info on the internet. I'm safety oriented and try new things within a few feet of the ground until I'm confident in my technique and...
