I had an accident using Summit without a harness once. The teeth on Summit's are pretty dull and won't bite into a lot of trees. I was climbing a poplar tree with it and about 10 feet up when the teeth on the lower frame slipped and it went straight to the ground. I followed it, going straight through the upper frame and to the ground. That was the last time I climbed without a harness

BTW I am sharpening the teeth on all my Summits with a grinding wheel now ...

I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin
