disco legs

At moment it just makes me get moving quicker so I don't look daft at first point in tree 😁.

 

Just make sure your not going so quick as you make yourself look daft. Speed comes with time and efficiency comes with experience. Don't be afraid of mistakes, but be afraid of not learning from them.

It sounds stupid but think about videos of experienced guys you may have seen and picture yourself there. Watch as many of Reg Coates / RC0 on here and just take it slow.

Thanks and glad others get it, I study a lot of vids of work by others and then try and think on the good things I can pick up, I've not been uncomfortable or worried on any jobs so far but still seem to get the same thing and mostly thinking I'll get a good ribbing for it on jobs if anyone ever notices

Yeah was doing a big ash pollard the other day and was knocking a big piece off with a pull line from the ground. Right leg was going like a goodun! But I felt OK, I suppose always a bit nervy knocking out big chunks. Like others have said, I think it's down to adrenaline. I remember doing a huge cedar dismantle with a guy who is awesome up a tree and mega confident. He knocked the top out and when he came down and we had a tea break he told me that his legs felt like they were gonna shake the spikes out of the tree!!

Thanks it's the strangest thing because u feel comfortable but it likes a shaking,

On occasion I have subby climbed for frenchies, this involves a long lunch with super strength coffee to finish, after that, when I climb my heart rate increases and I feel strangely agitated and nervous even on routine work.

I get disco legs accessing on ladders but fine once I've a rope around the tree. Also on skinny pops where your trying hard not to look down whilst spiking and hoping you don't miss and spike your self.

its very common rock climbing. What helps there is to push your heels down, easy on rock as your normally stood on just toe holds, but it my be possible for you to do something similar?

I'm exactly the same with Ladders! its a bit silly really...

In relation to the OP, climbing since October is nothing, the jelly legs are to be expected.

I've only just recently felt like things have started to 'click' having been climbing near on a year now.
