happy to climb this?

[Big 'Ammer]

Don't pull it with a rope.

 

Fell it with caution, bore it out a bit to see where the sound wood is.

 

However, the easiest, safest and most predictable way to take that tree down is to knock the big limb off and then fell the top out, whilst standing in a man basket on the telehandler you have brought to the site anyway for moving the timber.

Instantaneous decomposition of the substance!

 

or if you don't want to be picking the bits after Little John, use my mog mewp to put a line in and then the Ramsey 20k to pull it.

always safer to be on the ground if something goes wrong than up the tree.

 

fell it should be first option and if there is space for it i wouldn't risk the climb.

Backcut and running shoes.

 

I am obviously joking.
