I'm entertaining a thought, though I understand the lack of it being practical.
There is some public land I've been hunting, about 100 acres, and it's more long (about a half mile) than wide, and valley continues to descend at least 100 ft with a very uncomfortable slope.
The deer are bedded in the valley, but it's very thick in the valley, and no way to get back there without making a whole lot of noise.
The slope can be climbed by hand, there are also deer trails coming up at an angle, say about 45 degree.
If I use a climbing rope and ascender/descender, could I rely on my saddle to climb up and down?
Ignoring everything else that is problematic with this thought experiment, I'm mostly interested to understand if the saddle could be reliable safety for climbing up and down the slope.
