Here is my first ever traversing between trees. That was happening right after this ascent: [ Ссылка ] The same day - the same extreme (for our region) heat (32-33 C).
However, despite of scorching weather, there's something left in my tank . . .

In the beginning, I was planning to test my DMM Captain Hook with proper tree care seat harness, which I was still waiting for (for 4 months, in total!) Well, I couldn't help but give it a try as it is. So, I started approximately at 8 m of height, climbed up to 11m and the straight-line distance between trees is 6m. Beside DMM Captain Hook, I used Petzl Top Croll L combined with Singing Rock Expert 3D Speed harness and Petzl Pantin R.
