Proper happy i found this thread, my confidence took a wee knock today while working in a crack willow. On the way up i was taking a few pesky branches off and noticed the branches gave out as soon as the silky took a few bites, i knew the tree was relitively fragile as the name suggests but add this to the excessive wind that was kicking up and it was proper squeaky bum time. I just couldnt get my mind off of the possibillity of my anchor point failing. I only started climbing last year so im hoping confidence will grow with experience...hopefully!

I'm studying forestry and arboriculture at hadlow college in kent, and I want to gain some experience to help me progress in my course and gain some working knowledge for when I move into the industry when my course is complete. I am working towards chainsaw tickets and climbing tickets.
