One thing is minor slips while working aloft. One of those caused me tear my bicep, but I recovered and maintained my footing. If I'd have been packing another 80 lbs (-20 cuz that's my overweightness), I never would have recovered.
When I fell and hurt my knee if there woulda been another 80...
When I was overweight (a mere 25lbs) it was a BITCH moving aroung in a tree. Oh sure, spur climbing a connifer was doable but getting out on a limb to tie a rope or hook a sling? PITA!!!
Are you a smoker, Treesplease?
For sure the tree doesn't care, but the body packing the extra 100lbs sure will care.
And those one armed or one legged climbers are rec climbers... not every day working climbers.
Welcome to the TreeHouse, brother!
The combination of your weight and your bad knee puts you out of contention for being a daily, production climber.
