    i can see there are lots of variables now, ladders,throw bags,good clean bole no epicormic growth. So yes from the time you get out the truck and throw your first rope,throwline ecte. i guess the higher you get your throwline and footlock up thats obiviously faster than bodythrusting from branch to branch...and its more enregy used. Thanks so far gents..good info here for me to compare.

    Hi all, How long does it take you to climb to the top of say a 25 meter tree and establish an anchor piont? I know its going to be different wether you use ascendors and how long you been climbing. When you first strated climbing how long did it take you?

    Nice job..looks much better.wish the local council would do our limes around here.After that strong wind the other night quite a few branches came off and landed on the pavement. think il have to badger the local diocse/church land owners where the limes are.

    Thanks for all the posts guys. Good reading, from a wealth off knowledge and experince. In a nut shell from what ive read, high tie in piont but safe anchor and rope kept taught...ooh and lose some weight..im 11 stone and skinny.

    Do you keep your climbing line taunt when your out ther Jason or do you leave a little slack on your line.

    Just curious to know what the rest of you do to reach the upper crown in a tree..besides the obivous such as a mewp.From my drawing, say your anchor point is the orange X what techniques do you use to get to the green arrows.The outer branches are lets say 5-6 inches in girth. I know that you cant climb above your anchor point unless you have a secondary anchor piont.Do you use pole saw?, wing it with a secondary rope? Or be a nutter and just get out there. Its easy to branch walk below the arrows i know.If your above your anchor point wheres your weight in your harness? Give me your techniques you use.Cheers.

    While im looking for work i thought i would ask if anyone in East Anglia would appreciate some VOLUNTARY work on any jobs.It would help me keep my hand in and releive the bordom. My payment would be more experince and something to put on CV.Just the odd day here and there thats all. Dont mind what the work is.Got my own insurance and ppe..just need some time around tree work. Cerne.

    As a new guy to the industry (trying to get off the ground so to speak) i would welcome to have a mentor or an apprenticship.My NPTC acessor said "your not a tree surgeon just because you got your tickets".He is right you need that hands on expeirnce from ans with the qualified more experinced folk.

    great idea Steve. just would like the knots explained in a good way both visually and written/animation or video idiot style. i have seen some knot books and websites that are a little vague and dont explain the knots too well.
