Question: I use a HSS vest, always have. I use the extra rope piece that goes around the tree, for a little more freedom of movement than the strap. When climbing in my climber, I'll climb then adjust the rope up, climb to it then adjust again etc. When using the lifeline, I can see moving the Prusic knot up then climbing up then adjusting again etc: My question is, if you are climbing on climbing sticks to a hang-on, don't you have to use both hands to adjust the prusic know up ? Letting go to do that seems a little awkward that could lead to a fall. I may be missing something, so take it easy


If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
