You could use the chimney as a redirect and go up and over the house to a truck and tie into the frame or something thick. I've done 3 story homes in center city Philly doing this. Guard your rope with a tarp so the shingles don't abrade it. RADS system is prefect for this type of job. Easy up...
Given the option I always wanted to try that type of pruning. I've pollarded crape myrtle before and seen good results. I've also seen london plane trees pollarded in virgin in colonial Williamsburg (maybe sycamores? I think they have been there a while but I'm not sure).
The only thing that...

I like fairfield's climbing style and his video are entertaining enough... I wasn't watching closely to see the deficient biner. Looked like an awkward climb to reach that stub. We've all been there... You got to expect to hear some noise though Jim.. don't take it personally...

Re: traverse of the north gully at \'The Chief\'Squamish
i wish i knew where that was or that google wouldn't send me on a 2 hour goose chase looking it up.
I know very little of actual rock climbing, so I wouldn't have any idea how to anchor or have the gear to anchor on rock.
Either way...
I'm partial to cougar blue, but since you stated you don't like blue rope that won't help. I've laid my htp access line to rest since I've been climbing on cougar blue. Maybe they will make it in a different color?!
I've also climbed on fly but remember it to be really bouncy. Never with the...
I've been working on a few designs for about 2 or 3 years now and I just flat out don't show anyone but my wife. Maybe 2-3 tree guys have heard me talk about it but nothing in physical form or even drawings. most of that stuff stay at my house and not in plain sight.
I've had a few great...
