  1. yes i weigh about 11-12 stone not quite sure, and am relatively short for my age. i feel that weight definitely makes a difference as i probably climbed my first tree at 13/14 and was probaly about 9 stone, so as i have got heavier i admit i may have got musclier as iv grown but i feel im having to work a lot harder to get into a tree, specially with a saw... its just the confidence, when im 60 feet up i find it very hard to let go, i watch videos of people who can happily chuck themselves about as though there 10 feet of the ground, i admit im also not so great with height but i can push myself on. thanks Ainsley
  2. ok rephrase: as i have grown up over the last two years! i am deadly serious, i have bought all my kit with my own hard earned money, probably over three grands worth including chainsaws...
  3. Hi all, this is my first thread although i have posted on here before. I am 16 and have been into tree work for about two years and am very keen to get further into the trade, i am currently doing my GCSE's and hope do do my CS30/31 in the summer holidays. i have been doing work with a few people that i know well, and am a very keen climber, but am finding that as i get older i find climbing harder, and finding that i'm don't feel as confident and need to hold on a lot more, and dont enjoy free climbing as much, is this because of the little amount of work i do, i would be climbing maybe once every three weeks? please help, would rec climbing help do you think, what are the laws about this? can i just climb any tree in my local park? how do i upload pictures on here aswell? you can see my avatar which is me taking down a large conifer. Thanks guys:thumbup: Ainsley
