The climber on the Elm Street job asked if I ever actually checked my tie-in point, and it stung because he was right
I'd been setting my line in the same crotch on that big silver maple for a whole week without climbing up to look at it from above. He pointed out a crack running about 8 inches down the underside that I never would've seen from the ground, and now I climb up to eyeball every anchor before I trust it. How many of you actually get up there to inspect the union, or do you trust what you see from the bucket?

Sounds like a lot of wasted effort climbing just to look at wood you already know is solid.
