Would you climb this rotting ash

[bob]

This ash tree growing out of the bottom of a river bank at an acute angle over a river all the brash would have to be rigged including all the logwood and stem

A fair amount of major branchwalking and all arrisings got to top of banking.

No access for any machinery not even tracked mewps.

Usually I don't worry too much but all the rigging is an issue as over 3 gardens one with massive decking on stilts one with newly landscaped gardens and new Shed and the other just a fence to avoid

The tie in point is approximately 45 ft so not a little tree and about 3 foot dbh

any more pics?

 

is the worry it uprooting itself or structural collapse?

 

able to guy it up the hill?

[Kev Stephenson]

If I am right on it's location (Mill Moor Road) then i looked at that tree last year along with a few other companies (he asked for three quotes I think) and no one would do it.

 

Like you say if it could be climbed and dropped in bits it wouldn't be too much of an issue, it's the loading while rigging it and the number of targets.

No, I'd send McTree up it. :laugh1:

From what I can see in those pic's, yes.

[Ian Flatters]

How deep is the river? I,ve used a barge in the past to get stuff on site. But thats on the broads and the bits i work on usually have moorings of some kind.

[Frankie Lawrence]

is there any adjacent trees?

cut n chuck match sticks, turn it into sawdust and leave the rigging kit on the deck
