[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5782529, member: 22496"] I got a climbing harness and a 10k climbing rope to loop around the tree above the climber and raise it before I raise the climber and stand so it's a 3 step process. I’m attached to the tree from the ground up and back down. The climbing harness keeps you facing the tree. I looked a t the rating of both the harness and rope and thought I could hang my truck from it and still not break it, after that I quit worrying. One thing that helps is having 2 bungee cords I wrap around the cables to keep tension on them. Maybe somehow it could fall but it seems very unlikely with the bungee cords holding the cables to the tree. I've got complete confidence in my summit openshot. I'm a chubby 62, scared of heights and generally over cautious but I'm good with my summit. [/QUOTE]
