Always room for another up top

[David Humphries]

With the obvious need for assessing the canopy and working zones on an individual basis, it's somtimes possible for more than one climber aloft.

 

Here's a collection tandom climbing shots of work situations & work plus training oportunities.

 

M'd is even in one of them!

only time ive had another climber with me was when we was at college, and it does work really well i thought. i wish i could do it more day to day so much quicker.

efficiency is one of the big reasons, speeds jobs up no end.

 

and yes, its quite nice having some companionship some times, are job can be quite lonely. thursday was a clasic example of having 2 climbers in the tree. lovely weather, hardly any chainsaw use, just pottering round a good sized red oak with a silky, having a chat and a laugh. thats what its all about i think.

 

its also good when you find someone who has a similar pruning style to you, alex the lad who is in the pictures of the field maple reduction is only 21 and is developing into a great arborist
