Hot take: I used to climb with a taught rope hitch for everything, but after a near miss with a slick limb in Portland last fall, I switched to a mechanical ascender for primary support.

Honestly, the old way felt more connected to the tree, but the new gear is faster and feels safer on wet wood, so what's the better call for a daily climber?
