alright did I accurately trace yours
@Samcirrus ? I know I'm trying the patience of this thread asking for verification, but man that was a tough one for me!

I'm intending to practice climbing more before season. last season, with it being my first season 2TC-ing and setting ROS, i suffered some delays and fumblings that can be avoided. Did a climb yesterday in the park in a big, knotty cypress that was pretty tough, especially at hunting height where I struggled to set my tether securely due to the weirdness of the knots and the tree diameter. i wondered how much of that was in part due to my preferred carabiner hitch, and I wonder if a regular ol' girth hitch through the eye would've bit better.
my biggest issue is still, at root, fear of heights. once i get above 15', i get very cagey if the tree is leaning at all (which they all do) - feel like I'm going to fall backards or sideways.
I'm running Ameristeps on OCB strap;
@Seekbigger better tether on footloop w/ garda hitch; standard carabiner hitch on main tether. all soft sticht hitches.

If there's anything I could or should consider changing to help with general ascent and all. I'm open!
