Re: happy to climb this?
 I like Mozza's suggestionMind you, I might be tempted to stand on the tree that's already down and take the other out with my great big long pole saw, leaving the big hunk of trunk standing

Re: happy to climb this?
Why would you want to climb it ??? I take it it's coming down? And no I wouldn't have a problem climbing it if it had to be done, but looks an easy straight fell

Re: happy to climb this?
The fallen limb on the left looks tricky, a lot of weight and compression.
For the standing part of the tree id go with "mozzas" idea. How about a tirfor (sp?) winch? |
