Intro to Tree Climbing: Basic DDRT/MRS Technique

This video provides the very basics to start climbing trees without spikes using DDRT (dynamic double rope technique) also known as MRS (moving rope system). This climbing method is a great alternative to using spikes when the objective is not tree removal. Using spikes for pruning trees is considered UNETHICAL as it causes unnecessary damage to the tree. Do not attempt the techniques shown in this video without the right equipment. Learn to climb at your own risk.
