The folks at TreeStuff are awesome! Great stuff, great prices, free shipping, great advice. Go for it Nate, climbing is not just for small guys. I've known some big guys that were great on their spikes. Rope work is definitely harder for heavy weights and older guys like me but we can still get 'er done.I have used both Wesspur and TreeStuff. They are both great people to deal with. Treestuff has way faster shipping to me here in Mississippi due to their location.
