Hi all I just wanted to know the name of the type of rope system i use as i never can remember. I use 2 main ropes each generally on 2 separate anchor points The rope goes around the union and back to my harness. I use this on both ropes. Am i right in saying that it is a MRS? Whatever this system is called am i able to use an ascending device on this particular climbing style. This was also the way i learnt on my courses . Many thanks Aaron

Thanks all. Just wanted to see what most of your thoughts were . As the other stem is part of the base i wasnt sure if that one would be compromised aswell. I have never done 1 with a base like that so i was unsure.

Hi all I have a potential Ash removal job that im quoting for. The tree is around 18-20 m tall and aprox 2/2.5ft near the base . on the base of one of the stems there is dead wood roughly an eigth to a quater of the stem, My question: Would this be safe to climb and work on with some small rigging or would a mewp be best. I dint have tickets for a mewp so if this is the case i wouldn't take it on i have attached some photos. Tia

Hi all I may have a potential job that will require working within / over powerlines. I have no qualifications or experience for working with powerlines.

Hi all I have a stihl ht135 extendable pole saw . I got it trapped the other day, and the extension pole came out . I slid it back in and now the chain only works when its not extended as soon as you extend the pole the chain stops . Engine still works and throttle ect just no chain response. Any help or ideas as i dont want to break any more . Thankyou Aaron
