Great Expectations?

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.

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...
