Awsome pic!!

The topped out section is as large as the trees we normally get to work on!

Just how long did it take for him to climb that?

I would love to see the kit used.

I wonder if he's Chas accredited?

If they are topping it to make a spar tree that's going to be one hell of a high skyline !

 

The original text for this photo; Topping off a spar mast for the high lead logging operation, 1935. This tree was two hundred fifty feet high. The high climber is topping it off at a height of one hundred eighty-five feet. Washington

Don't thinl there was much. Basic spikes, piece of manilla or hemp line and an axe!

They also blew the tops off with dynamite! They were generally topped at a top diameter of 3-4 feet. I believe some of the tallest spars they used were up to 200". They then had to pull up and set pulley blocks which weighed 100lbs.

To put a bird feeder on top I think.

 

I knew it had to be something along those lines

saw some pictures in national geographic of the president tree. some 250 ft high the guys climbing it looked like ants. one at top one in middle and one on ground. how long with a rope and harness would it take to climb it. it was being checked to see if it was ok what a job
