My climb line goes around the main for sloping branches, especially redwoods. Ropes can walk their way out of the crotch and pop the branch right off. I learned this the hard way doing one of my first big takedowns. I spurred into the top of a sloped redwood branch, (It was LONG AND HEAVY) and it broke away from the tree in one second, with a loud POP! Another: A co-worker was coming down a big tree and his climb line was too short. (He was doubled up old-school with a taught line hitch) He re-tied on one of the lowest branches, maybe 15 foot up and the branch snapped from walking. In full gear and powersaw, he landed on his feet, and the speed of it shot him right on his back like a bullet. His back was broken. ~Best
Definitely a major danger for sloping branches! Especially with such trees as readwoods which are crazy snappy
Sorry to hear about your coworkers back! Hope he recovered well
Brilliant snack delivery 😂
A really nice climb and a well deserved chocolate. Keep making videos.
Thank you! Will do!
Good effort, you didn't tell us how tall you thought it was.
I would be interested to see how it compares with the trees at Lake Vyrnwy.
Thanks I think the drone measured 215ft to the top. It has an altitude meter and took off from the base of the tree. I was 15-20ft from the very tip as got abit thin 😂
Where is that lake?
@@ItsanArborist its in the south eastern corner of Eryri National Park. Simon O'Rorke carved 'the hand of Vyrnwy' from the broken remains of one of them, but there are still 10 or so in the grove.
@@TheHairyFoolcool I'll have to look into that some time
@@ItsanArborist Lol, ain't THAT a great feelin'???
Good work young fella, next time make it up in half the time!!
Sounds like my old crew lead, lolol.
