snatching out tops and being flung off the spar or it breaking! still gets me now some times on dodgey trees!

i think that gets us all dont it, nothing like a good fling in the morning:alberteinstein:

My issues were not so much fear, but confidence. Not with the climbing but my limitations of working the tree and assesing the balance distance etc. especially pulling top over.

 

The needle that a little fear provides is what keeps us sharp and alive

When I had my first go at spiking it was on a 70 ft dead Elm,the guy I was working with decided to wait till I was near the top then he cut a big bur of the base, I thought he was felling the tree at first, when I got down, the tree looked like a fire place, their was a big hole where the bur had been as the tree was hollow,bit scary,but a good lesson in just how strong trees really are.
