    Call in the ground crew! Had a good chuckle. Nice job on the tree, great video editing. May not be a diy video but I'm going to steal some of your rigging methods for sure. Making this work look easy is pretty damn amazing and inspiring.

      Big thanks! Good to hear ... I know how nice an extra set of hands can be, but rolling solo has its benefits. Happy climbing!

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  3 года назад

      Yeah basal anchors on all three trees mainly because my line ended up over several limbs and couldn't be tied up top easily. I used crotches not limbs for my high-points ... I was reading last night about how a lot of climbers prefer not to basal anchor so it got me thinking that I should pull up a top anchor more often than I do.
