Wing cuts are a must purely for safety reasons when felling heads out and cutting heavy lateral limbs,especially if you have your lanyard attached close by. I had a very close shave with a dirty mac in Nz when removing a large lateral and hadnt put any wings in the bark tore down and pinned me too the tree quick smart and my arse was in rapid blink mode. So for me and especially trainee climbers always put wing cuts in,it's quick easy and gives the climber piece of mind. Good thread Mr Glen --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?k0hkvp

not much justification is the answer -
Kauri climbing for kicks in Auckland NZ was alot of fun surrounded by some amazing vegetation,once up in the canopy i could of stayed their for weeks,so much going on within one monster canopy. and working in NZ was pretty much good fun 99% of the time for 7 years but its tough long days out their most of the week but i loved it.
