Good effort, plenty of leaf area left fr Spring. K

Tricky little reduction, pretty icy up top and tree had been heavily reduced previously and also suffered some snap outs. Aim was to rebalance and bring in the regrowth to shape as it’s in an exposed location. Tricky little climb with poor anchor points and multiple targets. Certainly not an oil painting but hopefully enough to see it last many more years.

Very true I actually don't mind the cold normally there was allot of waiting for groundsman to clear brash and send ropes back to me that bit on inactivity really made my extremities cold 🥶

That's interesting, unless there is another Ely you were only 30 miles from us and we had a lot more snow.

Was climbing today in it, don't mind the dry cold snow but it rained and turned slushy - not a big fan of the icy water all over everything.

No actual snow just icy rain for some of the second day
