Didn't even have to climb to set the rigging. GRCS all the way! The fir had major root rot, due to poor drainage and wet ground.
The rigging is in the fir just right of the failed tree, and left of the tree that the GRCS is set on. It's not very large, and deflected a few feet as we tensioned and lifted the appx 2000-2500 lb trunk free of the roof by a couple inches. There was some concern, as the condition of the tree was unknown, and could have been rotted as well. It went well, but I suppose a quick test drill coring would have been good. I did suggest that the 20 largest of the grove all be tested for rot. The whole area has drainage issues.
I brought out my nice old 056 Magnum II that I traded a customer, for $200 off his bill, years ago. She's a runner!
It's HD. Shot with my Canon 5D Mk III, which allows still images to be shot during video recording, just with a 2 second gap.
