Rope Knots and Climbing (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rope Knots and Climbing. Ladders often are useful in connection with tree preservation activities, but they are awkward to transport and use and so usually are not available when needed. And, even when ladders are used, the intelligent worker always will avail himself of a rope safety sling to prevent possible accidents.. It may be truthfully said that the ability to perform efficient work in a tree is based firmly upon a thorough working knowledge of rope, knots, splices, hitches, and climbing technique. No tree worker can be considered skilled unless he possesses such basic knowledge and knows how to apply it properly.. About the Publisher.
