Your scariest climb?

[Tnarg25]

A massive leaning dead elm in a grave yard ,,, it was a platform job but we couldnt get it near enough to the tree ,, so i climbed it ,, i still dont like thinking about it ,,, it really was just to far gone to climb ,,, lowering the big stuff off really was scarey !!!!

My avatar pic was my scariest, black locust that had split at the bottom and had to be dismantled. You can see in the pics my anchor point is horizontal and I had to lower the head out for fear of it smashing up the benches below.

 

Worst bit was when I finished and was cutting down the last 2m of stem it just fell apart as I cut through it. You can see parts of it in the last pic, put a shudder up my spine.

I climbed a lavatorie once. I sha* myself when I sat on the top.

 

Sorry couldn't resist..

That's a nasty looking one alright.

My thinking would have been 'sod the benches'!

Today's climb wasn't that great. Rigging out a good size twin stemmed Ash tree in a churchyard that was as hollow as a barrel.

I'm always scared, I hate climbing and have a fear of heights it's just my pig headed ness and the fact someone once told me I'll never make it as a climber.

I may never be a truly great climber I get things done in a reasonably effcient way.

 

This was an intresting job, the 2 remaining stems were split to the base held only by a Cobra brace, stuck a few ratchets up and climbed the rest.
