dramatic tree video

[Dan_Watkins]

I found this video on youtube. very dramatic music and video cuts. I especially like the non-locking snap the climber clips into at 30 seconds. The rope burning is also a nice touch.

Steel double locking snaps are still accepted life support, no? That's what he's clipping into.

I agree the video is a bit dramatic, but that's, like, 'Australian for Tree Service.' I have a feeling that the beginning is a bit tongue in cheek.

I'm pretty sure that someone from that company already posted that video here:

Yep, Ace is a top notch guy. Sure, the video is a bit dramatic, but it's meant to keep people interested.

Ace is #1 in my book
I was hooked ever since I saw Tahune day 3

How did Graeme McMahon convince you Ace is #1?

Tahune Day 3. Been a huge fan ever since I saw that.
I think the scope of work they take on is extreme and dangerous. I dont really know who is #1 but I do have a hell of alot of repect for people who manage to bust out enough grit to climb stuff like that!
Kind of like those nutty old redwood climbers....G.B.

Yeah, but Jesse...

McMahon is with Sherbrooke. Ace is Ace.

 

[Gerald_Beranek]

Graeme isn't quite the showman that Ace is, but no matter either way about the showmanship, both those guys take on some mighty challenging work and get it done with confidence and skill that has to be admired.

I'm a fan of both those Blokes.
