I usually do 3 like that before breakfast....

 

well, only if I have nightmares. That was one scary looking tree!

[Mr Ed]

Face it Steve, if you had the opportunity, you'd do it. I would relish the opportunity to do it... for an enormous fee:D

 

Awsome video of an extremely dangerous takedown. I loved the Juxtaposition of Beth Orton's fragile voice with the action.

 

I would really like to know the price and timescale on that job. it must have been a full weeks work...

[Steve Bullman]

well according to the vid title that was day3....judging how high it was at that point i bet there was a stack of wood still to cut!

Graeme McMahon is just a truly awesome guy, what more can you say. IMO, he is The Main Man on the international climbing scene.

[Steve Bullman]

for those of you unfamiliar with his work that job was carried out by an australian guy by the name of Graeme Mcmahon, im assuming the footage was shot by Angus Mcmahon, who recently signed up here at arbtalk, hopefully he will contribute to this thread and discuss the job.

their website is http://www.sherbrooketreeservice.com/

 

plenty more great videos there, some of you might need to download software for your media players to view some of them. I'll post some more direct links to the videos when i get round to it.

i would pay to do a tree of that size was really impressed by how they strapped the stem did a bad big ash last week that could have done with stem straps then may have stopped the need for bicycle clips

[Mr Ed]

It must have taken at least 2 days to get all the other lines and straps in place.

An epic ringing down session for sure with some gentle rigging. A joy to watch. Makes you reconsider what is climable

My good friend Pete was lucky enough to meet Graeme, nice to see a hardcore aussie climber in action.
