Has that last picture not come out well, or was it really that dark?

[James Cantle]

[testcricket01]

just out of interest are you anchored off the crane just looks like you are? if so that much make life so easy haveing a anchor point that high. top job by the way

[Yorkshireman]

We finished at 19.30 we did book the elec board for an 0900 shut down but they didnt switch off untill 1300 that meant we were hard pushed & the crane was on by the hour 4 hours set waiting Gutted !!!!!!

 

yes the anchor point was the jib end of the crane via shackles & cambium saver to reduce friction

[High Scale]

Nice.

[Steve Bullman]

nice pics Iain. i may be being thick here though....but i dont see how the climber can be anchored to the crane and the crane still able to maneouvre the rigged pieces????

[Yorkshireman]

If I told you that stevie you'd end up as dumb as me Lol !!

 

It was the only way, as that puppy was very unstable the split ran right through to the other side & hadsplit down another 4" from the evening prior to us getting onsite to sort it
