I still think it looks like a tr 3b.

First pop shredded from where climber left the ladder on the way up, each trees lower portions covered in a thick lattice of dead ivy.

Before each was topped out the climber transfered across with the Captain hook to set the next line, swung back in, topped out, rappelled down stripping the rest and repeat.

Half way.

Those first couple on the left must have been a bit whippy, like climbing a noodle.

Those pops were all planted in 1986, client still has the invoice.

The inner line, shaded by oaks is seriously skinny.

My climber got through alot of that prescription medicine he stole from his Gran.

I've taken down a hell of a lot of lombardys down. A fast saw and dart them down works well.

It’s a lot of work Stu.

 

I would have pushed for lower finishes, but at least your client seems to understand the future implications of this type of work.

 

Bon chance, and finished pics please.

Yup, loads of that technique so equally much snipping off the pointy stone and dirt filled tip before chipping.

Tops mostly sailed down flat before breaking into a groundies nightmare of a thousand shards.
