    PNW get together

    I won't be able to take the time yet for this one, but I'd like to have it together in a year or two to host a shindig at my place in Oroville, to celebrate after I finish building the house.

    Boomslang / Matt Herder support his family

    My daughter is a year and change older than Isaac. I hope he gets through this alright. I lost my dad when I was 15, and it still fucks me up some days.

    Now Hiring Experienced Climbers

    As someone who works in a high COL area, I always assume that lame ass phrase indicates that they know they're in a shithole town with a depressed economy, so posting the actual dollar amount won't sound competetive to most folks, but if they can just lure a guy into at least starting the...

    Broke two rules and paid the price.

    Damn dude! That's gonna leave one helluva scar to remind you every day. I really hope that's the only real lasting damage. Heal up man!

    Redwood canker?

    Yea the bark is thick all the way around. That area looks like it started catching more sun than it was accustomed to when the neighboring tree had a bunch of branches come off a few years ago, so cracks from that first year getting blasted is a reasonable guess. IDing the issue is just of...

    Redwood canker?

    I just realized that the main picture was missing Check that one out. Hard to see the sap droplets coming from the deepest crack in there, but it was dry looking, not like oozing. I sounded it, but maybe I just got lucky missing the decay pocket. I have to re inspect it once a month until they...

    Passing of Boomslang

    That's the most frustrating part; that Matt knew better than to take chances with power lines; I wish so badly that he was here to explain what he was thinking when he started up that pole.

    Redwood canker?

    Crown looks healthy as a tree in that situation should look. You can see that the top broke out some time back, but a single, strong leader emerged and re established the top. I definitely suspect soil issues, especially with the rock “mulch”, and I suspect that soil and surface roots may have...

    Redwood canker?

    I’m looking at this redwood and I am concerned that it has some kind of canker. Is it too early to tell, or could I get this tested? Sorry for sideways pics. Not my usual phone

    Passing of Boomslang

    This hurts so much. I was wondering a few days ago where he was. I thought it was strange that he hadn't been around, but I figured he'd be back soon. I moved so far from where I had the few friends I knew in person, but it's really hitting me how much closer I feel to some of you than I do...

    Possible damage from impact of felling a large tree close to a house.

    That's the way! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!!

    TCIA WTF?

    They did once, but it just didn't take off. It was kind of a rehashing of a subject that already had an old thread; something about 'what gear do you keep on your saddle' or something like that. Someone over there should invest a few hours cruising the old threads going back a 3-4 years. They...

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    Does it come off under load? I have definitely had it slip off, but I always wrote it off to movements when it was not loaded.

    Owl dead in tree

    Raccoons are funny. The places I have seen racoon turds... I have never encountered a raccoon latrine though, that sounds horrifying.

    TCIA WTF?

    That sounds like a reasonable interpretation of the language
