Habitat snag making today. Logs to the neighbor's mill tomorrow. Brushed out, big boy pants. I stuck my throw weight/ line at the beginning. Pulling on the line moved this spindly, hollow, remnant forest maple an unnerving amount.
I spiked from the base with a choked climb line and worked lightly climbing and free dropping little pieces onto asphalt or dirt. Once lightened, I lightly NC, self lowering, moving to a bit of ground level redirect-biner on top of the POW.
After topping the wobbly AF understory trunk.
Light NC rigging of a crusty top over the asphalt, redirect-biner, no wraps. It's the first working day to speak of for this new three-strand. Once broken-in a bit more, will be nice as it has better grip and built in friction for self- lowering, IME, as well as going right into the Rope Pullers.
I had Miriam catch this crustiness from a distance while I was definitely not connected to it.
I Zubat pole-sawed from the top of older trunks, below the newest regrowth while employing a small TIP fishing pole SRT system. Butterfly knots would be better than the doubling effect...tested before committing to it while also lanyarded.
edit: this is on a resprout above a breakout. 2 slings choked with biners. Hyperclimb more stretch than htp.
Spooky.
