whos climbing in this weather

[Buzzsurgeon]

when the temp is hovering around 0 c it's a wet slimy cold going on, -15 is much nicer as you stay nice and dry!!

Iknow its probably not to good for you but i have bad hand circulation too so when hands start to get unusable up a tree i just heat them on the exhaust of the o20 while revving her for a few seconds and they are nice and cosy for a while longer

 

Guilty!

Yup climbing today myself, a nice slippy ash and a 40ft+ lawson cypress to knock down. I am sure I was warmer than my poor groundy. Did well I think to be doing that than cleaning ivy from a wall which was going to be another job. However was really meant to be going up to Sunderland to do some airspading.

It was to hot to climb today!!!! so I stayed in my office chair all day.... must lower the thermostat down in the office...... All our lads where out today... they looked dam cold,,, choice is a fine thing in this weather.... I now appericiate the hard work and studing (and debt) I have done, that allows me this luxury and appriciate all you lads (and lassies) earning the quorn on the front line to keep me going in the office.....

ill climb in almost all weather, (bar thunder and lightening although i have been up a tree before in that) i dont see what the fuss is about. preperation is the key you all no its going to be cold so stick the right clothes on other than that whats the difference.
