Long Oak ascent.... twice

[Fairfield]

Top of this tall oak was dead. It had no center leader just two leaders that arched away from each other making a high point for a tie in at the same point that was needed to be cut. Cool climbs. The second climb, the cut got hung up in another oak top making for a third climb to cut that out... what are you gonna do sometimes.

 

 

Climb Safe.

Nice vid

Saw cutting seems slightly erratic to me

Maybe it's the saw you use or maybe it the 2 bootle of wine and alf bottle of whisky

[Fairfield]

hahahaha!!!! I think it may be the saw (that I hate) and some of your drinks

[Treemoose]

Always nice to see how people work

How do you find not having your saw not attached to a strop when cutting is it habit or do you find it more Free to use

[Fairfield]

I think because I have never used one it is a more free feeling. Although I could see if I had used one, that I would feel an almost panic feeling with not having one...... I think I may feel that way due to when ever I am near an edge at height and not on rope my heart is beating harder, when on rope no real fear felt.

[Treemoose]

Yeah I sort of understand

And the only downside would be dropping a saw you don't like so. . . if it works for you.

I couldn't not have it without a strop I'm already on the cliff edge

[Gray git]

Think I would have ' dropped' that saw from a grate high a while back.

At least with the system you ascend on it's quick and not as hard on the arms as body thrusting old school style! Nice little vid.
