All three are valid useful cuts in my book!

You will learn step cut on 31. Spear cut isn't really a proper technique in terms of your 31

Yes it is, and it is part of the Lantra <200mm tree felling course. Like anything know its limits, and it becomes a very useful technique.

Particularly with so many climbers today using trimsaw lanyards!

 

Combine that with zipping big darts into the ground as if you're planting trees?

 

Yeah not for novice takedown climbers for sure!

 

Step cuts, what I call holding cuts, are fair game for beginners though, saw lanyards n all.
