How would....

[arbormonkey]

Got to be a big and very stiff one !

 

That's what she said

[Stubby]

That's what she said

 

:biggrin::biggrin:

[skyhuck]

wait on a nice day and have a stab at it, I suspect the key to be determination.

No rope, nothin...

 

Just get in an tell yourself you ain't comin down till you've reached the top..Oh, I don't know if your slightly overweight, but if you are, get on a diet till you've lost a few pounds.

 

Amazing how much easier these things are when you ain't dragging up an extra kilo you can do without..

 

Are you a climber??

[Mick Dempsey]

Get one of those Big Shot Catapault things.

[glark]

Nothing at all & no it's not coming down.Or I hope it isn't!

 

 

It certainly can.

 

If it's not coming down, don't understand the problem. Try and climb it just for the crack ?

[Vespasian]

Are you a climber??

 

Am I a climber? err, thats debatable..

 

Do the odd tree, though never roped up one yet... though I have gone to the trouble of buyin a few odds and sods to do a bigger tree, one of my customers wants a coupla of tree's in her garden doin this spring..

 

So I thought, what the heck, I'm being paid a few hundred for doin em so might as well get meself some climbing tackle..

 

Got a zigzag, already had some rope and bought a harnes just last week.

I've bin practicing haulin myself up an down a tree on our place, bloody hard work though...

 

Which brings me to why I said you should lose a bit of weight.. I found it easier to pull myself up the rope after a day or two of not stuffin myself..

 

 

Oh by the way, only ever climbed trees freestyle, though a bit dodgy, easier in that nothin gets in the way... ropes snagging on stuff, that sort of thing..

 

 

does that qualify me as a climber? hahah

[Taupotreeman]

Definitely one for srt.

 

 

What he said. Straight past all that rubbish and into clear wood. As for the comment from someone else on "no rope"; dumb comment!

[stihlmadasever]

Had a few ivy covered trees,its easier if its a removal just power pole pruner the crap off at the bottom spike up and saw all the crap off as u ascend but just as a reccie climb id be double lanyard climb till i got to a decent solid anchor point to tie in too.If in doubt mewp
