Would you climb this rotting ash

[Gollum]

Could you speed line it from an adjacent tree

[Mesterh]

I'd probably climb it, might not want to rig stuff off it though!

 

Well certainly nothing bigger than I could rig one handed.

 

Has it been checked out for inotus, and other stuff?

Thats not necessarily trup Rupe. Everything has a tipping point......yes the tree is standing but an additional 15 stone could be that point.....especially considering angle of lean, site conditions and condition of tree.:001_smile

 

under weather conditions it is tested too its unlikely youll test a tree more, if its standing and alive it is very very unlikely to fail on you as long as you dont act like a jerk in it.

Forces from speedlining can be incredible

I think he means the speedline being set up on other trees? Not on the actual Ash tree.

The trouble with that tree is the space below it.

 

The tree can be accessed by roping into an adjacent tree so the climber will be safe enough but there is a ridiculously small area to work in and some tricky rigging to get it there (after you have winched your tracked chipper down a 50 degree banking)

so what is at the top of the bank ? road ? car park ? grassed area ? only reason i ask is to see if you could use a crane ??

Looks easy

but the other trees are a fair bit away and not as tall.

Personally i did not think they were close enough especially with the branch going over the shed

Thoughts quip

 

No access for crane IMO narrow access and a muddy paddock

not being rude bob but had you considdered a crawler crane ? i have used on where the all terain crane could not get to due to soft ground and mud . Just an idea tho , is there an Ainscouh near you ? i know they have crawlers
