Product Information
The SafeTree Climber System is a common and simple set of rock climbing lines and ropes. This combination is meant to arrest any fall, just like it would any rock climber. While it may not keep you completely free of some injury, it will certainly keep you from hitting the ground. Here's how it works: The mainline is attached to the top of your tree by a loop with a bite knot and to the bottom to keep the line from moving up while you are climbing.. Attached to the mainline is a "prussik loop" which is the friction knot that will stop a fall. You attach your full body harness to the prussik loop. As you climb, you move the prussik knot up and down the mainline. The farthest you can fall is managed by the amount of slack that you handle between your harness and the mainline I highly recommend that you use a full body harness to climb with. The belt in the picture is a bare minimum, but not considered to be safe by industry standards anymore.
STHS uses some of the very best climbing rope that you can get. STHS currently offers a 30' x 11mm mainline with a 4.5' x 6.5mm prusik loop from BlueWater Ropes. BlueWater is one of the best climbing rope manufacturers in the country. You should never use a plain "hardware store" type of rope. It is not rated to take the load of a fall. This line is considered to be "lifeline" and is used by professionals all over the world.
This system is primarly used for Fixed position Tree Stands, Lader stands, or permanent stands.
For those that use a climber stand you should use a lineman's belt!
