that cherry was impressive lets wait a few years and that will be very close to the record.

Sorry for the delay, I've got a couple more but something weird is going on with the files, if I can sort it out, I'll upload them as well. Most of mine are very similar to other photos added so only adding a few

[RobArb]

Nice one!

 

That pic with the 3 different SRT anchors, how did you set them? I mean, they're all non-retrievable right? So, did someone climb up from a base anchor then set them there or where they thrown up and tied off (running bowline?) somehow?

 

Just curious that all:biggrin:

[Dan Curtis]

Fired the bigshot up and over, joined two ropes to set a base anchor, then Adam made the first ascent and set everyone else's lines tied off at the top.

Video on the way its not great but we needed a weight to help send the tape down so we attached the camera on record and sent it on its merry way down

 

Just uploading it to the tube now

we measured that cherry tree at 26 meters

 

and approx 2 meters DBH

 

Just seen this, 2 ft dbh mate, two metres would be absolutely mental for a cherry:thumbup:

Cool:thumbup:

 

So, on descent with a rope not big enough to put an alpine butterfly in to retrieve the rope, how does one retrieve the rope?

 

Again, just interested (and me being thick:lol:)
