Great Expectations?

[scotspine1]

expecting way too much from both the tree (hinge wood) and the pulling set up (mechanical advantage/floating anchor set up too slow).

 

Looked liked the top was back leaning and the hinge gave way before it reached upright/C.o.G, also looks like he was chasing the cut to leave almost no hinge at all.

 

Astounding -

 

 

hope the guy is alright, looked a sore one.

If it didnt hit the telegraph pole it would probably have gone fine.

I'm fine.

At least I gave it a go.

Ouch. That could've been a lot worse!

Now I haven't climbed much in a while, but with the faff of setting up all that rigging I reckon cut and chucking smaller bits into the garden would've been pretty damn quick and easy anyway...

Looks like some strange decisions made there just to utilise the amount of rope he had in the truck.

Seconded. Better for his face, anyway.

Go high, cut small.

would've destroyed the fence, but at least it wouldn't have hit his face.
