1-handed, I can't really do 2-hand I never practiced it enough....reading ^that is awesome (and appreciated :D ), am going over to this tree again shortly and'll be seeing if I can get a line anywhere higher than I've already got an anchor/rope (I left my gear in-tree, have multiple climb setups...
Oh and to be crystal clear, while I think I'm ok spiking to the top, I'm uncertain and really doubt I'll know til I'm up there...as said in above post though this isn't anything approaching a typical job, ideally I'll have climbed it (w/o spurs) and have anchors set this week, and begin testing...
I see new posts but they're answered here anyway :) --
Sorry so much confusion, please consider this thing a 'practice tree', yes it lost half its canopy to a storm a few years ago (that dead part I was climbing to, the limb it once held got stuck in those shorter oaks behind the fence I'm...
I *totally* get you now(thanks a ton btw!!) and think I can even do 1 better-- the treesqueeze lanyards let you choke them if you've put your line through, I may be able to 'do the wiggle/snap waves' and work a squeezer anchor into place a few feet up that left side trunking(I posted a pic while...
touche, was afraid it'd look like "Oh just reach up and do a pull-up you pansy" but I'm just not tall-enough to make it over!
Here's how it was before I moved my lines upward again (in this pic my red/orange Mercury is still on a stump of a removed limb, and the Blue Moon is going through a...
I have 14' echo ppt266 and already did everything that could be done from the ground. That V/crotch is actually the start of the remainder of the trunk's vertical (and the other half of the V is a stump, a limb lost to a storm years ago)
Re line placement from ground, the tree leans into...
crap my photo doesn't show but both ropes are tied/basally anchored at same spot on this trunk, as-is a rigging anchor or rather there will be once I'm done getting the climb-anchorage in place to make the cuts. The lines do not rub and the "paths are in-line" ie the rope doesn't take a sharp...
Title says/asks it really...am trying to get onto the trunk-fork, my drawing is not to-scale (I'd be far smaller relative to the tree, as would the ropes) but the blue rope is blue moon that's over a limb ~5' above the union but not that strong a tie-in and certainly not one I'd be able to...
