Todays reccie climb (LSD and cerneARB)

[cerneARB]

Just a few photos of todays bank holiday..climbed this Quercus robur in Suffolk.We were not sure how high it was...my 35 meter rope did not reach the bottom when we got to the top.Weather held out too as they forecast thunder.Highest tree i have climbed to date..so feel proud.

Wetherden Andy,tree was owned by local landowners and LSD got permission to climb it.

 

Yep got a real confidence boost to climb such a tall tree, veiw was fantastic.

 

Any ideas on height?

[Joe]

are they chainsaw protectors on your arms? and if they are how come your wearing them when not cutting?

Height-wise around the 80foot mark at a guess, quite an achievement for you, did you do any limb walks?

[Joe]

oh right, would it not be comfier to just wear a long sleeved t shirt? just a thought
