Climber's thoughts

The beauty of treework is that there are so many opinions and personal views....thats what makes our work so interesting.

I feel like this is a set-up.

I kind of had the same feeling. Is it?

No, genuinly no.

I just wanted people to see the high tie point on the section of timber that was being removed was a bad choice, it should have been tied much lower down on the section allowing it to fall over and run to the ground smoothly.

I know the tree is small and some people find the use of rigging in that situation excessive, but the whole tree had to rigged due to a very expensive landscaped pond to the right of the tree.

Its what we do. People pay us to do a professional job, if that means rigging to ensure no damage then so be it.

thanks
 
I have some places I have rigged out do to exspencive pieces, but after my lil rope burn down me neck to lower back I made that (ding dong sound in head ) not to rigg in a situation that puts me or others in danger. I am glad you are all safe and do to constructive thoughts here have learned maybe to putthat rigg in a different area.

sometimes rigging and playing it super straight in situations you can totally command is a good way to stretch, exercise and experience working with everything at polished perfection.

Just like "it is such a simple job; why would i take the time to do a full tie in" or whatever.

A.-Cuz if it takes too long to run the full drill; you haven't practiced it enough etc. Just like in situations where necessity is a mother; there is a particular high l-earning part of the curve secreted in the opposite extreme of situations where you can overkill so easily and stretch further in that direction IMLHO...

Also, it is a good time to experimeant with so little in harm's weigh.

or sumetin like that

It looks like it needs a tag line to get the chunk to go the way the wedge is cut. Pull on the tag line would mean the lowering rope could be kept snug on the portawrap and when loaded it could be let to run rapidly to the ground.

I was disappointed to see the climber elected to use a system besides SRT.

Pedulum swing yes, but what if the log is allowed to run smoothly onto the ground?

[/ QUOTE ]AND GOT STUCK SOMEHOW???

Only one thing wrong in the pic? NO way Gozes! A climber has to rely on his own action. A escape route by having a high TIP or working from the ground (not in the way MB did half a year ago

).

If the s hit hits the fan... Don't blame the Groundie.
 
I don't get the set up? If the climber was high enough in the tree to perform the top work, and set the block, why rappel and then climb up the secondary lead? I can't see how this would be efficient or necessary.

I don't have a problem with the block position. I would not move it until I was working down the main stem. If I needed more power I would install a second block in a lower position.
