Bill,
Just a reminder... The climbing spikes for trees ARE NOT the same as for
climbing electric poles..... The tree spikes are quite a bit longer to get
thru the tree bark into the tree itself....
Pole spikes will most likely cause you to decend at Mach .6, as the spikes
seperate the bark from the tree and down you go.... SAFETY FIRST!!!!
73,
John K1RC
