climbing slick wood

[Kandelero]

This pic says a lot. Looks like your climbline is not aiding you. You are being pulled into cut. Try settling into the climbline and leaning away. To side of leader. Different if spiking up a leaning spar without an overhead TIP. Your knees are bent like you are shitting. No need to cut with one hand here. Tell the truth your climbline seems way too low.

Also fair. My climb-line was not aiding me at all. Being my first euc I hadn't anticipated needing it as an aid for more than security, then got caught out as described.

Having a high TIP helps aid you in getting to tips of trees wheather pruning without spikes or doing removals with spikes. Never forget that......
