Use a safety harness!

I'm glad your OK. I had a climber get away from me this fall. Boy was I grateful to have a harness on when that happened. Without it my only way down would have been a ~20-25' fall/drop onto a 40* slope of loose rocks ranging from golf ball to grapefruit in size covered by slick leaves and tree limbs/twigs. That would have hurt.

Yep that's the guy, I bought 6 the last time I ordered, I don't need any more.

I make my own and use quality climbing rope (life not worth going cheap on rescue equipment).
