I have a tricky tree removal, might do it tomorrow. It's a hemlock, fairly small, maybe 35' tall. It goes up from the ground about 10' then curves like a banana out and on up to the top. In the tension side of the curved area is loads of rot with some healing callus on the sides. Its in a confined spot on a short steep incline, leans over a fence with neighbor's pool and patio on other side. No room to cut it from the base. Top will have to be rigged down, No other trees close enough to tie into. I looked at it for awhile trying to see if we could do a gin pole with a tag line etc but ultimately not possible. So I figured I'd either climb it or maybe work it from a ladder but ladder probably won't be tall enough. While I was there I didn't think of doing a highline between 2 trees. I'm not sure from memory if there are 2 trees lined up properly to set up a highline and tie into the middle of it to work from it instead of relying on the tree to hold me. But if there are 2 trees in good positions for a highline, anyone used a highline before, any tips to offer?
Thanks.
Thanks.
