The "Front Yard Tyrolean Traverse"

Using a spare 13mm rope and some old climbing gear I put up this fun little prusik route[ prusik knot,used to ascend a rope] over the front yard. Some of the trees that I am using I planted a long time ago,so that is pretty cool. to do the whole route takes about an hour and a half. There are four "pitches"; a vertical prusik,one traverse prusik,another traverse,and a repel. Great fun!!!
