what do u think of this

[skyhuck]

 

I looked at a massive roadside Ash which was growing out of a Holly hedge yesterday and the only way, without cutting a big hole in the Holly, is to lean ladders over the holly onto the Ash stem to access.

 

I would just throw my rope over a branch and up you go, I have NEVER used ladders other than stepladder for hedges.

These hollys are 3-ft wide mate, with the road being at one side, even using the bigshot you couldn't do it unless you wanted to swing into the hollies for a face rash.

 

You could always use your hydraulic ladder, you know, that one attached to your timber trailer , that's why you don't need a ladder

Why the hate of ladders?

I find they make life easier.

Did a syc today that was so full of climber/vine S**t it would have been a major struggle to throw a line or a well dodgy bit of free climbing.

 

20ft ladder to the rescue

aye do that my friend but at least we got to sort it out before there was potential for damage

Shocking cuts. Looks like idiot + blunt pole saw.

 

Ladders - Great for access in right situation. Don't work off them if possible (stropped on or hedges). 20 ft head start up every tree you climb / every time you ever come down = longer climbing career.

 

I wouldn't use them at all till I got older and wiser.

yep your rite sanny, was perfect for me as a student to see how not to do the job, even the shape of the trees were crap n those 3 poles behind the garage that he left standing for all 2 c, need i say more ha ha
