It was a bet surely .

Just seen this on YouTube. Just interested to see if any of you lot would have risked this or what you think of this kind of work.

I sure as hell wouldn't have put my knackers on the line for this. Maybe I'm just being over cautious.

Still made it down alive, bet he needed a drink after that one.

It's an advert for his company and he is bigging the thing up. Joe public will be impressed though and that's what matters.

 

It was as simple a free fall crash and bash as you could have wished for, rigging it would have needed a bit more looking at.

 

I have climbed things as bad and worse.

Trees are much stronger than many believe.

 

I dismantled a large Beech that local youths had be lighting fires at the base of for years. It looked very, very unsafe, it was burnt at lest three quarter of the way through.

 

I threw a rope up into the crown and pulled it with the mog, absolutely solid!!

Agreed, If it's not really windy and you rig small or bomb.

Why didnt he anchor into the nearest tree...its close enough to use as a good t.i.p.

I really cant justify climbing that,as a last resort fine,but it could have been felled or mewp in to take the top off.

As treequip said its purely self promotion

Agreed, last resort. I'd still be shitting myself and I'd probably climb about half way and think 'no not today'.

Even if it is a promotion surely it would more professional to say no we need a Mewp and that would look better than bombing and hoping for the best.

I've climbed some pretty rotten trees but I think that is pushing it especially at that height..

That's not a bad shout. At least you have a better idea of what strength the tree is. Mind you it could have made a mess if it was much Weaker that you thought.
