Deading the Reds

[Andy R]

removed deadwood from 2 wellingtonia fir's today. Also measured them, the one on the left is 36m and the one on the right is 41m. Each tree took about an hour and a half.

I didn't take the camera up the first one as it is a very challenging climb, so all pics are from the tree on the right, bit easier to get up.

 

 

 

 

About halfway up.

Bit further up

 

Nearly at the top

 

Looking across at the top of the other tree, can actually sit out on the tops of this tree.

(sitting on top 2005 - clicky clicky )

In the top

 

Looking down on a huge pine that doesn't look that big from up here.

 

The boss leant up against the van.

Looking down

 

Stopped and had a nice smoke whilst looking out from the top of the world, then came down for some tea and cake.

 

Good day.

cheers guys, the one on the left is always a challenge, very little in the way of anchor points until you are at least halfway up...The other one is great, once you are 1/3rd the way up it is nice climbing all the way to the top.
