What's the worst tree you have taken down?

Alright lads

 

After uploading a few photos on to my computer from work I thought I would ask what's the worst tree you have taken down, or had to work on? I think this one was mine!!!!

I did one similar - it was breezy and the crack was expanding and contracting in the breeze - I had no brace on it - didn't hang around - never again

not sure about the worse tree , but those saw etc look like they have been left in just about the worse place .

Not quite as unwise as the place you left the poor chipper in your avatar:lol:

 

Did you get the money back from Stobart's insurer for that?

Hi

 

A fair sized old pine with a lean over a road & towards our neighbours and a large dark water mark I dismantled earlier this year.

Dont think it would have lasted much longer

I hated this one from a couple of yrs ago - leaning over a property - smothered in ivy

A pumped sycamore, the bottom 20 ft was like polystyrene and the next 20 feet was dead but not as rotten. i My spikes were slipping, the roots were gone and it was on a cliff above a house and garage!

Horrible scary nastiness!!!

That's the worse I've done as an experienced climber, there were loads of scary climbs when I first started out, it was DED every day for months, that took a lot of little chats to myself and trying to convince my brain everything was ok!
