Any tips on limb walking difficult limbs?

[Lou Brown]

On an ash tree earlier today, reduction. 
One limb was spread quite long and up at a real sh!t angle. And being ash it’s not the grippiest tree (not tryna make excuses) Obviously I done the donkey ride like usual- nuts squashed successfully.
 I had to cut it where I could in the end but my question is, is there any other methods of getting across awkward limbs? 
cheers

Chocker slings around the limb and stand your feet in the loops?

Are you a human or a computer? What's your name and where do you come from?

I have the foam filled (high voltage) Jameson utility poles with a hook (branch lifter) on, using 2 x 6ft poles I anchor as high above as possible, walk out until I start struggling, then use the 12ft length of pole with hook over some side growth at least an inch or so and pull myself out and up the limb with the pole as a kind of bannister, then when Im close enough choke the lanyard, or lanyard halfway and repeat, been out on a horrible 45 ash limb to clear a summerhouse using the pole to pull myself up and miles (literally) out from stem

Both hands on the poles, hand over hand

Throw hook for large upright limbs with nothing on.

Now that's soldiering. Poles in the tree are great.
