my question is : when do you pull the plug on it being too cold ? who's hardcore and who's not ?

do you consider tree species and characteristics when climbing at the mo.

i have a fairly large ash takedown 2moro with some technical lowering,hoping to get it done in 3 days max but might be 2.

the team is ready to roll but i suppose just having got back from NZ im adjusting to the english weather and was wondering what the general feel is at the mo.

feel free to abuse my pussy pommy attitude :biggrin:

did a fair size ash takedown today which was freezing . . . but as long as your ground crew dont keep you waiting too long then i found i could stay warm enough. good base layers/thermals are a must. i think the slipperyness from the ice and snow is the main danger but you can use secondary anchors etc worst bit for me was frozen toes where the spikes seemed to be stopping the blood flowing. id say just go for it:001_tt2:

Nothing is worth risking You need to be healthy all the time not with one broken leg and missing work etc

Love it Drew.

 

Ash is more susceptible than frost than most IME bro.

 

Third/third/third cuts on the heavy, icy laterals ey?

 

Tell Dan Mac to give me a shout re his L200, or I will perform said cuts on him.

 

Climb safe. Send Dan up.:thumbup1:
