the one from your front garden could be a number of things from that pic, the trees i know with paripinnate leaves are, in order of which i think is most likely in this case Juglans nigra Rhus typhina Tonna sinensis or possibly Sapindus drummondii Just looking at the building site one now:biggrin:

Just tried it with the wheel facing away and I wasn't overly keen, I'm used to puking down on the rope near to me and it just felt wrong the other way. Hey ho, what works for one doesn't for the other:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

i've been a full time climber for the past 3 years part time for another 2 before that, and whilst i'm not tempting fate i worry more about falling out the tree or my anchor point failing than i am cutting myself!

Its great that you volunteer, i hold my hat off to you, especially as you have done it for 5 years:001_cool: But do you have a full time job or get paid for another job? How do you pay for stuff, like food and bills? -
in my setup i have more twist and less wraps in the VT and the pulley wheel of the hitchclimber facing me rather than behind the krabs

proper pollards, not just topped trees:lol:?
