Highest tree.

I do have a pic somewhere on 35mm film. It was in a suburb outside Brisbane, the property sat at the top of a small ravine, the tree started 120' below the house and tipped out over 100' above. I had to remove 1 large limb, and only had a 45m rope. I climbed to the top for the sheer hell of it, but found I nearly ran out of rope walking out on the limb...

Had to rerope 4 times to get down...

You should have seen the girth on it, big as a village. Overhanging the runway at Heathrow it was to. Hurricane force winds were blowing and it was at take down with just a silky. This was when I was working for Eric Frei.
