pete,

 

yeah that guy running the rope is a very experienced climber which always helps when rigging for other climbers

 

graygit, ply was excellent for stopping the small bits of dead debris and cones that came off the branches as they were rigged down.

 

ricsydney, cheers, glad you liked it.

 

if anyone's interested, rigging gear was a Buckingham Port A Wrap III, Samson rigging line, Yale slings and ISC block and a good pair of thick leather gloves

cheers lyons, jack,

 

lyons, it wasn't a headcam, hand held Canon Powershot 3300, about £70 from Asda.

Obviously there were reasons behind the stem being blocked down, which I'm not sure of but was a vertical speedline not an option?

 

Hi Adam,

 

rigging the timber down off the stem like in the vid is straightforward and controlled, with vert speedlines - the lack of control (you dont know how the piece will land) increases the risk of serious damage to property. Vert speedlines do have their uses, just not on this job.

Thanks Tim,

 

It's always hard looking from a climbers view especially from a camera lens, getting the scale and map of the garden from just one view often leads to these type of questions being asked,

 

Will we be expecting anymore videos in the future? It would be a shame not to now you started :biggrin:

 

Good stuff mate

 

Adam
