Monday, freezing rain, split/hollow Robinia, full of muck and the private collections from various crows, (probably) and the tree, at one point, grabbed my phone and snapped a picture of me.

looking a bit skanky that tree carl. Gently does it on the rigging I guess lol

[High Scale]

I didn't bother rigging that side as you could see it moving around as I climbed it, the other side however, despite being in a state I did rig, no pulleys though as that would have put too much strain on it, instead I ran the rope around the trunk and around two limbs to spread the load.

[Steve Bullman]

why do you say that carl? id have thought a pulley would have relieved strain....less chance of a snatch if the rope can run smoothly

[Pete Mctree]

I guess the fact that the pulley doubles the load at the rigging point. Depends if the piece is being held or let run. Multiple pulleys can reduce the load niceley provided that the angles are kept relativley small
