Whether the wounds from spikes are as bad or worse that the pruning cuts, if you cant do it without them you're not a professional. So many options.. use them maybe?

BenR stuck his neck out, but I got to say I agree. Although I have used spikes on reductions only when I cut out the limbs I was spiking on.

I would probably use both ends of the rope to get to where you need to be then put a sling round for a foothold and another at waist height clipped into your bridge, that will come in handy to take the weight of your legs between cuts as well.

What ever you do make sure you think about self rescue. If it's going to be that hard for you to get up there how long would a rescuer take if you needed it?

I would cut out footholds with the saw,do em nice and deep then you can use them again next time.
