Snapped my climb line about 40 feet up a red oak on Tuesday
Dead limb I was tied into gave way without any warning and I dropped about 6 feet before the lanyard caught me, scared the hell out of a homeowner watching from her deck. Spent the rest of the job on spikes and a pole saw because I was too rattled to trust another tie in. Anyone got a go to way to test suspect limbs before you commit your weight to them?
