Jamin Mayer-Slayer of dragons

[Stumper]

........and rescuer of distressed damsels and slow climbers.
Jamin came and helped me out doing the climbing on a couple of big Cottonwoods.

Jamin deadwooded these two monsters in one hard(for him-I had it easy) day.

This is the second, smaller tree. Jamin isn't normally a contract climber since he runs his own show but if you should ever need to team up with someone and he is available I think you will be delighted.

Wow! Those are Huge!
Great job Jamin, Hunter of deadwood.

We had three cotton woods on our block and one of them my dad and I took down. It was pretty big....I think I have a picture of the trunk once we dropped it.....

Nice work Jamin! way to help out a fellow buzzer.

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

It was a tough day. No walk in the park, but still fun!

And working for Justin was great. He is professional and generous. I'd work with him any time.

One of the 2 trees has a lot of decay in the tree. 1-2 years max and it should come down (for public safety reasons). Stay tuned!!!

Right Justin?

When I saw the picture of Jamin hiking up the side of that big cottonwood, I threw up in my mouth a little bit.


Way to go Jamin, Thanks for sharing Stumper!

[RogerM]

[cuttenwolf]

Jamin Nice climb on some big trees. How fun was that?

 

[Reg]

Nice work guys, that first picture is really something. Glad the weather was on your side Jamin.

FWIW. My ascent was a combination of a SRT with DRT. I used 1/2" static KMIII anchored to the tree with a porty. This was groundsman ready to rescue me if necessary (during the ascent). --The rest. Well, I was on my own... I used the Kong with a Petzl micro grab for a back up. Attached below the Kong was the Rock Exotica swivel pulley, which my friction hitch was in. This gave me the advantage to descend, if I needed to and/or work on my way up, if I wanted to.

The photo shows the same set up from a different climb earlier last year, but you will notice the Blaze rope instead of a static line...

And Jim is just saying that because I tend to do 90% of my tree removals with Cottonwoods. There are plenty of guys here in the Front Range who are "Cottonwood Kings."

Every time I see a huge Cottonwood I say to myself, "That is the biggest Cottonwood I have ever seen."

They keep me humble.

Jamin, Yes, I talked to the customer about a near future removal of that tree. He is considering it. The third tree, which I did from the bucket, is a disaster in waiting also but I think he can get the power company to do it..........and power lines and the credit union parking lot are the only targets there. I never did get your bid assessment for removing tree #2. I told him around $7.5k

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

UUUmmm, come to Haddon NJ, you can climb as many as you want.

A couple of years ago we removed a couple(cottonwoods) around that size maybe a little shorter.It was the worse under bid ever,one trunk had like 20 feet of concrete and we did it all by hand.That job is the reason I bought my Boxer.We got down to one of the trunks and there was like a hundred snake eggs in it and they where hatching at like a foot long and very aggresive.Still dont know what kinda snake they where and will never tell the price of that one.
