They knew the basics, BUT, the climber was either scared or had very little experience. Most of the lowering done near the house should of been done from the other stem, away from the building.

 

The climbers cuts had a bit to be desired, and the guy lowering didn't give much sympathy with the rope, the climber even lost his hat at one point..

 

No doubt everyone over this side of the pond will frown on the PPE issue:sneaky2:

 

Otherwise, I guess they got it down without too much damage, yeh?

seems to be a lot of snatching & lot of hanging ropes

Thought was fine, guy on the ropes needs to learn let it run abit got better towards the end.

I am no expert but wasn't an easy watch, looked as if something was going to wrong any minute but hey job done. Liked the bit when his hat came floating by, his chin strap must have come undone:001_tt2:

Well they got it on the ground.

 

I agree as above re: PPE and cuts

 

I think with better rope management, better planning of cuts and lowering and at times a tag line the job would have gone a lot smoother.

 

Wonder if it was left like that
