Would you climb this?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

The tree was windthrown and had 2 large lateral roots on the tension side still intact. We wobbled the tree with a rope to see how firm it was, it seemed relatively stable or as stable as a tree like that could be. I then climbed up as far as I dared and dismantled the crown.

 

 

and I wouldnt have done any different:biggrin:

Rather climb that than something lodged in another tree. Where the pencil diameter twig is holding everything up.

No , I'd start cutting !

or multiple loading points and as you work your way through them you know odds are sooner or later one is the ONE that holds the gravity key!

No chance, remove fence panels and fell or crush panels and fix.

I'd get the biggest ladders I could find, put them as high up as possible then cut away with the biggest saw I could find.

Probably. Or string a zipline from the other trees and work off that, can work well of you get it set up right

I would use a Polecat and notch down 6' sections at a time, simple and no drama.

Above a house, probably, for the right money, above a fence, no.

As someone else said put a line up another tree and swing it round.

Throw saw for Jobs like this...!
