Better late than never, eh?!
8.5 years after we did this job, I finally edit and publish a video. It was a large, appx 44' dbh dead /douglas-fir, in extremely close quarters. Only a three foot wide space to work in. We utilized three lowering devices, the GRCS, Hobbs, and PortaWrap, and used the GRCS to lift some of the low limbs that had nowhere to go but up first. The extremely skilled BCMA Matt Follet assisted us for a few hours on the first day.
Video quality isn't up to today's standards, but I think it is worth watching. Definitely one of the most difficult spots we've had to work. No crane access whatsoever, or zip line possibilities.
