Climb It?

Yeah, but that removed weight appears to be now missing from the side it's actually needed.

Nothing (mostly) is "undoable" and there are probably 100 ways to do this job, but like so many have said already, Mangoes should name his (ultra-high) non-negotiable price if he even wants to do it at all. He's not obligated in any way to save this guy's butt after the FUBAR now made of the task. In fact, even doing so can tend to give him a reputation of willingness to fix up self-imposed blunders as opposed to training folks to call him early and often.

It totally amazes me that people let these large trees stand dead so long in the first place. Some problems in life go away by themselves, but these aren't in that class.

Here's a thought: stick the removed wedges of wood back in place and bind them securely there, then bind a full-circling layer of 6x6 (or better) "splints" around the stem and work it that way.

Hell, even showing up to seriously consider that job is worth a few hundred bucks in itself.

Walk up to that tree and drop it. Just cut that tree down please . Give it to him , it'll go . Next picture , I hope to see that thing on the ground , and you climbing in his wallet .
 
Here's a better idea. Go to the tree with a chain saw and a dodgeball , tell your buddy who left the tree like that to walk out to where he thinks the tree will land . Don't let him get too far though , when he's dead smack in the middle of the LZ , drop the tree and yell " if you can dodge this tree you can dodge a dodgeball ! " after the tree lands , nail him with the dodgeball, right in the face !
 
Well my wife and I went out for some DQ ice cream last night, and we decided to sneak by to see what the status was. The tree is down and cleaned up. Don't know how or who but it's dealt with. I just worry that if my referal 'friend' got lucky with that drop that he may go off into the world, taking other chances with people's property.
 
Blizzard's are the best, I'm partial to the Pecan Cluster version.

Just made a friendly, acting-concerned-about-their-welfare call to the actual homeowner. They found a guy that climbed it and knocked a big top out of it. Excelent, I can get on to making real money. My referal guy did go over my head on this job twice, which sucks for him, I've excersised all of my tolerance. We tried his wife for our accounting last year, really expensive, but nice enough. I might consider another accountant this year, I think.
 
HaHaHa! Now I'm freaked out, too! Matt Damon wouldn't climb it...the fisherman wouldn't climb it, this is an opportunity to let the client sweat the danger, in the form of dollars or damage to the woods. What a dumbass.
 
well this was bothering me so i asked my foreman and i told him the story and he said he would climb it. Also he said that he did climb trees like that before and that once he climb a tree that was already box and backed cut. I asked him why and he said that the rope came undone so he had to go back up and do it again.
