Poplar rigging

A few pics of this weekends job. Some tricky overhanging laterals over fragile roofs called for some creative rigging solutions. Pre tensioned lines with a floating anchor.

Nice work. Balancing slings would work a treat on that kind of lateral.

Floating anchor is so effective in this scenario.....good job Ti

Good stuff.

I bloody hate rigging pops. Actually I hate climbing them as well.

Nice use of a floating anchor as well

Looks well thought out Ti.

Why do people always wait so bloody long?!!!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Rob Wells was the climber, I ran the ropes. Rob made the job go super quick. Very enjoyable when you can land everything right by the chipper.

Nice to see a climber not using the rigging poles as a tip as well, some thing I see a lot of tree workers do and always makes me cringe especially on old hacked about trees..

I would be wary though about using static lines as rigging anchors though , that is exerting a lot of force on the stems, I think if I had the ground staff I would of been inclined to double rig of each side and you can go a lot bigger on the bits your taking off but it looks like it worked really well on that job you did.. Nice one.
