you would never catch me doing that, certainly not without being tied in! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHH are they mental

 

Im not particularly proud to admit I have done some pretty dumb arse crap whilst up trees in my time but yeah....I agree.

The height and free climb technique gives a sense of exposure that is very impressive. :bowdown:

I wonder how often they check their climbing strops and if they lolar.

Wouldnt want to do that on a windy rainy day.

 

:scared:

 

They only go up when the weather is good, and no thunderstorms coming up.

It takes a few hours to go up and down, one job per day.

Seen it on Discovery Channel once

Quote from the vid at 2 mins 30 secs:

 

"Attaching, climbing, attaching and removing safety lines every few feet slows progress and is tiring."

 

How about:

 

"Attaching, climbing, attaching and removing safety lines every few feet slows progress but means you get to go home to your wife and kids in one piece at the end of the day and spend your hard earned danger money, instead of ending up raspberry balmanged 1700 feet below and going home to them in a placcy bag...."

 

Mental!
