How would you go about getting into a conifer with no crotch?

looks like ive stirred a hornets nest haha it was a serious thread I was just wondering being a beginner and all sounds like ladders are the solution to everything on here

Yep, two big ladders tied together, stood on the van roof.

If you dont have any pruning spikes then just use your normal ones and spike up the back of the tree so nobody can see.

 

Are you serious?

This is not a stupid thread, you asked a good question and got some good answers.

 

I reduced some Norway Spruce last week, I used my throw line and got my line round the main stem and over some small branches.

My friend, Wile E. Coyote, recommends that you order a huge catapult from the ACME Company - plant the catapult in the ground - place oneself into catapult pocket - walk backwards - and whoosh!

 

P.S Be careful you don't whoosh straight into the trunk ..... I think it happened to him once .... or twice ....

Why didn't you use a ladder to the first limb then just climb to your way up using personal line and climbing line?
