How long does it take you to climb a tree to the top?

He asked about 25METRES Matt, not FEET:001_tongue: Tho I seem to remember you were the fastest footlock over 25feet at Saltex:001_smile:

I have to ask, are you guys saying from the moment you leave the truck or from your shot with the throwball?

Good post

 

i can see there are lots of variables now, ladders,throw bags,good clean bole no epicormic growth.

 

So yes from the time you get out the truck and throw your first rope,throwline ecte.

i guess the higher you get your throwline and footlock up thats obiviously faster than bodythrusting from branch to branch...and its more enregy used.

Thanks so far gents..good info here for me to compare.

That's what I meant by 'level playing field' Cerne.

 

I will use whatever is available to get a headstart. Ladders, throwbags, MEWP's, cranes, helicopters, balloons, human cannonball. Whatever.

What type of tree, as they are different, are their low branches to give you a head start, or to high where you would need a throw line. What if they were redwoods or the like, then it would be a straight forward climb

Never made it to the top. Usually chicken out a third of the way up and come down in tears.

I was exactly the same till I started taking my lucky teddy with me on climbs. I just looked down and was re-assurred by teddies presence.

I wondered what that was clipped to your harness...

 

For me it takes a long as it takes, since when did this tree thingy become a race?
