How far below the inside prominence of the knee joint should the top of your climbers be?

The correct distance for the top of your climbers to be below the inside prominence of the knee joint is 4 inches. This measurement is essential for safety and efficiency while climbing. Proper climber placement ensures adequate support and balance, allowing for optimal performance when working at height.

If climbers are positioned too high, they may interfere with the natural movement of the leg at the knee joint, leading to discomfort or reduced mobility. Conversely, placing them too low may not provide the necessary support when ascending or descending, increasing the risk of slips or falls. By adhering to this 4-inch guideline, climbers can achieve a balance that supports their weight effectively while allowing for safe maneuverability on the pole or structure they are climbing.
