    sounds very fair to me

    nearly right - the energy reserves of the tree - any tree, will drop significantly JUST AS THE LEAVES ARE OPENING the trees energy reserves will recover quite quickly when the leaves are open

    its almost trial and error for your first one - you have seen how its done but you are up there on your own and its a different world up there - no good making big mistakes - make small mistakes and learn
  5. Paul Cleaver
    good advice

    not too bad really - callous build up on both elbows due to years of climbing I suspect not much pain in them thankfully

    I can remember the first tree I ever did - vastly underestimated the job lol - might be a similar situation here

    nice pics Hamsters - the first pic reminds me of an Arb Asc conference I went to last centuary when Claus Mattheck was talking about a chesnut like this, he said the trunk is like a coiled rope under tension - it was later pruned in a way that altered the windload on it. the tension was reduced and as a result the trunk uncoiled like a rope

    When you have a parasitic fruiting body that has appered on BOTH sides of the trunk, and considering the lean and location- that is cause for concern - In my experience - fell it

    Im a fan of the late great Paul Kossoff (guitarist of Free) - This full length version of "the stealer" is awesome - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtWjKbsH9Q8]Free - The Stealer (Unreleased - extended Kossoff solo) - YouTube[/ame]

    may i suggest, in this competition, as the diameter "record" increases - well pick a tree with a good lean eh

    im 48 and still climb - but ive been climbing for 25yrs - dont do it every day - it would kill me- it will take you alot of time and experience to get really good - If you have got your heart set on it,go for it but if I were you I wouldnt take on really big trees - what you dont want is a hernia - reg Paul
  20. Paul Cleaver
