    I have the equipment and have practiced climbing up and down a rope but
    don't trust my skill and coordination enough to climb higher than I'm
    willing to risk falling. As a kid I read that a paratrooper landing is like falling from 15-20 feet and I had to try it, repeatedly. That may have
    caused or contributed to my lifelong back, knee and foot problems. I claim I feel like a teenager because the same places still hurt. Now I use the climbing gear only to work on the roof antennas, solar panels and wood stove chimney.

    They go under and extend beyond the ridge cap. Winter snow here can be heavy enough to collapse roofs unless shoveled.
