Leaning sycamore with great high anchor point!

Hi, I use 1.8m slings with a SWL of 750kgs, they are pretty bombproof. Never likely to lower 750kgs in one go, and if I was anywhere near that I would be using a 16mmrope with no slings anyway.

Great work. Very professionally done. The GRCS must have got a bit of a work out!

yeah right o!

 

i very much doubt it felt a thing with those puney twigs on it?

Yes, it didnt really need to do anything!! We wound a couple of sections, like the low flat branches over the roof, they all lifted up and away from the roof no worries. But we were only using 13mm rope so no where near its limits.

 

Also, interestingly, we had 60m of rope in use so all the energy was absorbed in there, the Oak tree never moved an inch!!

It was a bit strange removing the trunk of the Syc as I went along, usually of course that would be the rigging point but it was in the way so had to go.

 

The drooping line is a retrieval for the rigging line.

 

what a great photo!
