It goes down at about 5pm but I finish at 3.30pm cos I don't take a break. I was too tired to satisfy  your curiosity and these are a bugger to photo they are so big. 

 

You'll be impressed though. Even though you wont admit it.

Im a novice too, even after having my gear for years, as still on hedges and mowing too. Today I thought Id pull my line out when it got dark and leave a throwline in the tree till tomorrow, fork too tight so now throwline and rope stuck. But i did practise tip tying large spindly tops, works a treat if there is a nearby stem to crane them out from. Probably chucking it down tomorrow. At least youre not reducing beech in the rain

I got so sick of pissing around with ropes etc and get wound up i just free climbed half of it. 

 

Broke the neighbours chair also.... so he says.. 

 

Pretzl zigzag was fed wrong I think. I have to piss about chainging lines over to get out of the tree. Gah

i  hope this is all overdramatised for our entertainment and that your climbing is actually a lot safer than you make out! :)

How the f .... can you wrongly feed a zig zag, there is a diagram on the side, you got it upside down?

Any new kit start low and slow until you get used to it.

Just as well you didn't get a spiderjack you would have had brown stains by now

Me too. I;d rather work clever and be able to smash the Mrs the moment I walk through the door. 

I hope he’s more adept at smashing the Missus than feeding the ZigZag!
