So this mornings job was to take down this wind blow conny, it was being held up by two skinny silver birches, now I was happy that it was relatively stable to climb, I was going to take more off but as I got about three quarters of the way up my groundie pointed out it was moving a lot at the root plate with my weight on it, so I put a rope in it and set up a 3:1 pully system to help pull it off the birches as I felled it from the base
