Try it. A lot easier on wrist and you get a better and safer grip holding saw with horizontal cuts.

I cut hard wood as well before. They had branches all around trunk as any other tree so the maneuvering of saw was about the same, just less frequent. I had saw on trunk when possible in hard wood as well.

I never climbed, but done some lift jobs years ago and can't remember I did different then. If saw change position its same thing if I stand on ground or a cut in a lift. I still change position from upright to side way's. Still run thru the loop in hand when changing position of saw. Haven't...
