200 ft unassisted climb

Isn't there an account of a 600' footlock in Arborist Equipment? The guy had to cut the rope off every couple of hundred feet because it was too heavy to lift.
 
Premature to call him a pussy. Who knows, he might have kept going to the top if the tree was a thousand feet tall. He mentioned that he couldn't go any higher, probably was disappointed.
 
i used to climb trees like that when i was a kid. as long as you can reach the first branch its easy as climbing a ladder. never measured the height we climbed but it was certainly over 150'. we would wave to mom from the top and she would run into the house yelling "I can't SEEE you!"
