Thats no problem, but I'm not in the shape I thought I was niether.
I had to climb about 20 poles the other day and it was murder dang I'm gettin old fast. My shins are ruined, bone bruised and blisterd up from the hooks (think I may have not had the straps tight enough the first day) couldnt climb now if I had too. I guess it was the marsh muck but the bone seems bruised too, I never got that messed up when I first started climbing 20 something years ago. I havent had to climb much in the last 15yrs but I never would have thought to have sunk so low either. Back when I started we climbed all day many many days over 20 or 30 sticks but never again for me,I'm not like the song I aint as good once as I once was. I'll be posting some pics of the job soon, real bugger that job was, high poles, marsh, tides, river, snakes gators and one old dawg,the dawg won but it was a battle to be sure!
