Absolutely correct. (partially) Safety climbs like Tuf-tug and others are to be used to get to where you want to be and that's it. You shouldn't even rest on them. You always clip off somewhere when

All I can say is to watch the Mannequin drop test on this page. What you're using is fine for climbing, but when you get to where you're going to stay, you should use a shock pack. AND it's to be abo

I guess I have been lucky. I got my first tower at 13 (51 now) and never been hit. But didn't climb EVERY DAY until 15 years ago when I got in the business. I have still never been hit. I'll knock on

51 if that is young. The triple self-lockers won't come open and get you hurt or killed! They do take getting used to, so you can open with one hand. There is a nack. used to them. You must be young.
