Only got the one shot of the first tree in the vid because Bob was too worried about traffic (even with two others controlling it!), photo shows both the trees a bit better although it does not show the drop off and the banking, etc. Last edited by edenarb; 09-04-09 at 10:11 PM.. |

Nice vid Eden! How d'you like the Sugoi? Have u tried a shorter friction hitch like the Distel with a slack tender? That prussik looks well long. First time I've ever seen anyone climb with the big petzl 'boss', i take it you like it?
Felling shot is comical when the groundie does a runner. |

Sugoi great on take downs, **** for pruning - too rough Cos im only getting to climb at weekends I dont really get any chance to try diff hitches etc. As I've said to Steve would love to try other stuff but difficult to warrant it at the moment. I was taught old school over 20 yrs ago so prussik suits me OK for now. Boss is OK (comfortable) on open trees but a pain in the arse on tight climbs. Will prob be looking at a second harness APF. The groundy acting as a banksman and was a friend of the lad I did the job for, lets just say he had learned to keep his gob shut and eyes open earlier in the day
