climbed my biggest tree so far !!

[lakeyboy]

not been climbing long and this sycamore was part of a big job we had last week we had been told to deadwood it, me and my boss climbed it i suppose for a bit of moral support more than anything anyway this is the tallest tree i have climbed and the most limb walking i have done, all with my new gear aswell.

made me feel rather proud of my self considering when i started just over 3 years ago i was nervous about going up the ladder to cut a hedge

i wasn't to confident for the first twenty minutes or so but then shouted to the boss "oi check this swing out"

when you have climbed for years you get very confident - then you have to make sure you don't get complacent:001_smile:

Ladders always give me the jitters!! Big tree on windy day no problem, using ladders to access tree nervous all the way until stropped in!! This is quite common among climbers apparently!!
