Tree Climbing (Arborist) Knots
Arborists need knots to secure their climbing ropes to carabiners, arborist rigging pulleys and other equipment. The tying method should be perfect to ensure a hassle-free, quick and safe climb. You will find that the knots used here to be mostly similar to the carabiner and friction rock climbing ones with minor differences owing to the lesser duration and altitude that tree climbing requires.
