In m opinion mate, the climber is the boss and his safety is number one priority. Make yourself heard, you are basically running the show. If the limbs don't swing away from you quick enough let him know. I'm sure he will be more impressed with some communication and some intuition than if you were to be injured by a butt swinging into you and giving you a great whack. If you did something wrong he would be the first to shout up. Seeing those bits falling smoothly and gracefully away from you and touching the ground feather like would make his day as much as it would make yours. He might be more experienced but you were both as new to the system.

 

yes i see what you mean ill have to have a word if it happens again. cheers :thumbup1:

I have to agree with frank re: communication. Dont be daunted by the age gap, I'm a lot older than many climbers I work with, but as said, the climber is in charge up the tree and makes the calls. Of course it is teamwork, so be willing to listen to his point of view and experience too.

You make it sound like a chore or even a shock that you might be agreeing with me. Thanks mate. Haha
