had a bit of a moment there:blushing: 2 climbers is great

efficiency is one of the big reasons, speeds jobs up no end. and yes, its quite nice having some companionship some times, are job can be quite lonely. thursday was a clasic example of having 2 climbers in the tree. lovely weather, hardly any chainsaw use, just pottering round a good sized red oak with a silky, having a chat and a laugh. thats what its all about i think. its also good when you find someone who has a similar pruning style to you, alex the lad who is in the pictures of the field maple reduction is only 21 and is developing into a great arborist

so going with that point we should check eveyday to ensure that the loler ticket hasnt expired, and if it has they should be sent home

yes it was a private client, got recomended for the job. was a little out of my usual area, but a passerby stopped and i quoted today to reduce his oak as well. the guy was going off to birmingham and paid in 50s before id even choosen which rope to climb on, but i havnt had a phonecall so i guess hes happy

valid point,though if i was doing heavy rigging or a large rigging job id climb and set a block. this is a handy trick to have though and can save time if your good with a throwline
