I'm getting to a point where I don't feel comfortable on a roof, even a low pitch. On shingles it isn't so bad, but on metal, I just can't get footing I'm comfortable with. Between my back, hips, legs, knees and ankles, coupled with a faltering sense of balance, I just can't stand up like I see others doing.
Searches for terms like 'climbing harness' or 'safety harness' haven't come up with what I think I need which is a vest type, over the shoulders, around the waist and I'm not sure about leg straps. I want to be able to tie off to a variety of things including beams, rafters, or a tractor or other tie point on the ground by means of a rope over the ridge.
I've got a lot of things to do coming up, but I like my bones in one piece.
Ideas?
