fell or climb this decayed HC?

Tree fancier those little green bits at the top are a good indicator.

 

so if there's a last gasp left in it - no worries about a racing snake clambering about

Simply put a rope into the top of it and tug it from 3-4 directions to determine how wobbly it is.

 

If it's wobbly? Fell it.

 

If it's not? Climb it and piece it out already!

 

It ain't rocket science mate.

Yep seems a bit of a drama for a very simple job, knock a bobble or 2 off n fell it, chequeplease n gone😀

done - thanks for the help guys, was worried it was going to break up during climbing or felling, but it turned out not to be as totally decayed as I'd thought.

As per Mick and Timbernut - I cut off a big pollard head facing the intended direction and felled onto it.

 

Got a way to go with the felling cuts, but didn't cut through the hinge, so could have been worse

Well done mate.

Good learning curve.
