    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    I call this a 'V-hang'. Regularly used for trees that lifts and cranes can't access (the majority of my work). 24"x90ish foot tipped, dead cherry resting on a maple and cedar. Sorry for sideways. The ability to float anywhere in the plane of the 2 TIP and gravity is great. Add a...

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    Chucked down in 10' and smaller pieces. Detached the guy lines. He and I lowered the stub a bit until in the right spot, then dropped it. All holding back, no pulling over.
