Worthy of a re-post!

Props To Graeme, But...

I fail to believe that he's the only climber in the world who's able to do that.

I am sure some of us 'could' but likely lack the courage nor live where there is a demand for it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's just a tree. If all of them were easy, everyone would be doing it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

knowing your local trees and used to working in them goes a long way. I am sure most of us at one time or another have been told "no way I would have climbed that".....

Ayuh,
I have heard that one.....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I have too, but not one that was over 100 foot high.. LMAO

 

[NHlocal]

Nope, ain't got many of those around here.....

Jerry could have done that ... probably with his foot in a cast!

From Bailey's FaceBook Ablum: "AT 150 FT. UP — STILL 7 FT. IN DIAMETER!"

And I sure as heck ain't gonna say I couldn't do it, either. Like I said, it's just a tree. With the right crew, equipment and rigging, just about anything is possible. You just gotta get your mind right!

 

[RickyTree]

No lunch break on that one, forsure.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn straight. I'd have mine airdropped!

But I'm sure on this one, my mind couldn't be set in the right mode. And my body seems to agree.
It's like climbing the transmission towers with a big bunch of hundreds feet.

 

[NHlocal]

It would be a good challenge..... (with the right crew, rigging, and equipment )

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've climbed transmission towers - 350' and 425'. It was amazing!

 

[NHlocal]

For work, or for fun?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've told the story here somewhere, a couple times. It was to change a light bulb, 100 bucks apiece, around '78, '79.

 

[NHlocal]

Wow! That's a WHOLE lot of work(climbing) for $100.....
.....of course back then $100 was worth a WHOLE lot more.

 

[MasterBlaster]

In 1978? It took me about 30', 45' each tower.
