In the late 70s - early 80s, I climbed for companies in 3 different states, and everyone just climbed with a saddle, climbing rope with a non-locking clip on the end, and with the 2 foot tail from the double hitch securing the clip, you secured the two ends of the climbing rope with a friction knot with 2 loops under and one over. Now, that securing of the rope is done with hardware, plus you have a belt full of hardware. Really curious when all this hardware started to be used.

It's because you're stronger now, and saw faster/more than you realize. Dead serious. You'll find this dynamic at play in the use of many hand tools. Obviously, there is an opposing factor, where we learn how to be more CAREFUL with preserving our tools, as we gain experience, but swinging things harder and more often, still has an inevitable effect.

To the untrained eye it would seem that way. It had been topped. That is just chopped in half, truncated cuts like a lay person will trim a tree. This caused rapid sprouting branch form called epicormic. They lack the genetic ability to steer and organise themselves for balance, strength and light. And they have weak unions at the cut point where they emerge from. This tree was not sound.
