Your scariest climb?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Just happened an hour ago.

 

I was up a twin stemmed Lawsons which both stems had twisted around each other, corkscrew style.

I was cutting the growth out the top when suddenly the 'corkscrew' untwisted and I only had my lanyard on one stem!

I thought I was heading down pronto but luckily I was also tied into the adjacent bigger tree.

Scary though.

This tree scared the crap out of me twice. Pruning it and taking the thing down

Thats a great video Gibbon. Looked a bit hairy.

 

Saw you were looking for a trainee a while ago, if circumstances were different it would have been a great opportunity!

 

Is that Chris Cornell/Audioslave/Sound Garden?

I've reduced a large Robinia by about 30%, only to find out that it fell down of its own accord on a calm day about two weeks later.

Few sketchy ones now and then. The most sketchy have been the ones that have had no body language that I or people with far more knowledge than I have have not detected and have still withstood rigging forces and crain offs.

 

Hindsight is a wonderful thing when things go well..

 

I'm sure a more attention on vta and education will go a long way in resolving my problem though..
