I finally got that tree at work. Before...
After...
Not much of a job. I could have used a ladder/freeclimbed without making it a youtube spectacle, but hey, why pass up a chance to get on rope? I wanted to try a valdotain, but right away wasn't thrilled, so I made one braid, and that worked /ok/, but I'm still undecided. My ropes got jammed up with each other, and that caused the hitch not to grab a couple times. Not a big deal, but not cool either. Made me lose hard won progress up the rope. When it worked, it worked well though. Gonna have to give my setup a bit of thought. I'm also out of shape (in general), but from winter especially. Boss wants low branches on a pin oak trimmed, so I'll have another gig(this time paying) soon. Also eying up a fir that has a cavity a woodpecker's been working on. Might do that too. That would be a complete removal...
Pretty good day.
