Steve, is there a risk of a massive pendulum swing if it all goes wrong? or is the other tree very close?

[Steve Bullman]

well......

 

id rather not take the swing, but am comfortable with the risk over the alternative....if that answers your question

Is there anyway you can use a highline with this situation? any other tall trees around or just that one your gonna tie into?

[Steve Bullman]

nope nothing

[Steve Bullman]

i nearly took some pictures but it would have been pretty pointless....the angles wouldnt have shown

Not sure if you've thought of using a shackle like this? Could be worth a look. Could tie a bit of throwline to the quick release?

[scotspine1]

nope nothing

 

I take it you can't hang the dangerous tree off the skinny beech? would the skinny beech support it?

[Mesterh]

I could lend you my harness.

 

Just clip into one of the tool strops and you will be fine.

 

What Ive done in the past is unclip just after cutting and hold my strop so I can just let go if need be.

no, the beech coming out if leaning far too much and is too heavy. the beech im trying in to, as well as being skinny is also looking a bit sparse. theres every chance i might change my mind once ive ascended it to anchor in.....unlikely, but a chance all the same
