    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    I find that the silhouette picture series of the Arthur Clough Oak paints the picture really quickly, and it just got a great 2025 addition They need continous structural pruning for their first several decades

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    That's what I'm saying, with another heavy follow up two to three years later. I think one of the most difficult things for the client is to get into the mindset of thinking in tree timescales. It's not as crazy as geologic timescales, but it's quite a thing to start seeing the longview, and the...

    Yea, I have been meaning to get some solid tires. I don't how long I'll be able to deal with it, because I really have much more of a soft tire kinda place.

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    I agree that they're not great compartmentalizers and are brittle. I wouldn't take the whole thing off, but I wouldn't cable either.

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    Best way I can think to describe it right now is that I used to feel the need to feel held in place by my harness, and now I just lay back into more. It all just kinda came naturally as I worked in it, so I never formalized a theory about it.

    I really like that Beal Access 11mm. Keep us posted if you get the Triad.

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    I had to adopt a more relaxed style of climbing. It's hard to describe, but I know what you mean about it riding up. The MB, and the Petzl Sequoia both stayed lockes on my hips, but the looseness of the Kinisi has been a feature rather than a bug for me. I think it's why it doesn't make the skin...

    Do I quit the best job I ever got?

    Tell me about. The only thing I'm not stoked about is making enough money to actually have to pay taxes.

    Do I quit the best job I ever got?

    Totally. That's half the reason my wife and I went and did the paperwork. That would be my tax rate if I was single
