Treated 2x4 cut 5 1/2" lg. 15 to 20 deg top bevel. 3/8" dial hole thru for 1100 paracord strap. Attached a 3/4" thick spacer with screws to inside top edge. Spaced them about 16" apart to climb tree (tethered entire climb).

One safety concern would be a squirrel chewing through the cord. Squirrels are very destructive critters. I have seen where they have chewed through aluminum wire that holds up chain link fencing. I would never climb without being tethered to the tree.
