How would you rig this tree?

Yes, to a reasonably experienced climber that would be easy.

Ask a few questions during and after, next one you could do.

disagree , go hard mate and make sure you think about things before you cut e.g. swing , drop distance , forces , direction . I agree with rigging the back part off , when you climb up set your anchor and block then get everything off you can do without rigging then have a play around with smaller bits down low and swing them around , as soon as you start it will be like putting puzzle together and you will get a feel for things It looks like your main worry is the glasshouse but don't get to focused on that make sure that the bits you drop wont break anything at all , its easy to forget other things when you have a main focus :thumbup: Doing it is the best way to learn mate put up some pics when your done

Good advice, IMO.

thanks alot coleman. i have been thinking to use some ropes to secure those small branches from falling over as the picture of your avatar does.

thank you very much everyone

As people have said Cut and chuck the whole thing! Not sure what you mean about securing small branches so they don't fall over? Get up there with the Silky if needs be and take them off the step cut the rest down?

that was just an old bracing bro and i didn't dare cut it out as it was too dodgy with that leader over the house, the other two lines are my anchor and a rigging line.

Dont make it too complicated i say over complicating things can lead to headaches also having a brace in there should be avoided as it can get in the way when your lowering .

If its possible to have someone with you that has good experience that will be invaluable , they can give you tips when you are unsure of what to do next:thumbup:

I am liking this thread. I am just starting to get my head around rigging, so far I have never needed anything to complex, but there is always the next tree!

 

It may sound like a very stupid question, but could you not just move that poly tunnel away from the tree?

[recycledsole]

thanks guys,

the polytunnel is secured to the ground.

[silky fox]

Can you unsecure it?
