    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    So Daniel -or others, could you share a few more details about how you might have handled this given situation (and not just avoided it by different earlier rigging)? Sounds as though you like the idea of a slash cut, but would you have still gone with such a large, tip-tied pick and just have...
