...but would be quite nerve wracking to trust as a sole rap anchor. It clearly got hammered and almost 3 years later the regrowth is still only fairly small branches. Plus the original trunk, which is what you'd wrap the rope around, is only about 20cm diameter. AND there isn't much soil holding it on the ledge - you'd basically be hoping that the roots inside the cracks are wedged in enough.

So we re-located a booty wire to back it up. our sling will fade soon enough - people will need to BYO cord/sling to equalise the wire about 1.5m down to the tree.

The Prescription is great though
