photos from france

[Paul in France]

This is a guy called Mark who works in the south west of France doing some work for me.

It's the first time I've ever watched a tree climber - it's a job I couldn't do - found it hard enough to watch!

This makes me laugh, he is using a saw one handed, I'm sure every climber has done it

As a humble rec climber, these pics prompt me to ask what is the best (safest) technique for working when leaning forward? Most harnesses (excluding full fall-arrest types) are designed with the bridge etc. for perpendicular working or leaning back - what's the technique for tying-in from the back.

In pic 2 you can see the guy has a strop attached from his left side.

 

Some harnesses have longer bridges to allow for more rotation

Looking at photo again it looks as if he is actually tied in from the back.

I can tell buy this guys work positions, he is very good!

He has pulled a little sneaky by tying in behind him with his D rings, the guys good.

I looked at that too and thought "good work that"

 

Key board warriors complaining about one handed use need to pipe down.

Looks like nice work to me too.

Every climber uses the saw one handed.... Don't they.
