Rigging!?

[jefflovstrom]

Hi all,
This sounded like a good topic, but I see no action. I have recently got back from Lake Arrowhead, Ca. We were involved with the Bark Beetle project for Cal-Edison and let me tell you- that is extreme rigging. This project set the presedent the first to be allowed by OSHA to ride the ball of the crane.
By the way, I have been climbing for 26 years and ISA#449 Treeworker

I heard a lot about these pines and the difficult rigging scenarios. Tough stuff. Have any photos to share?

I was told that CALOSHA gave the workers an excemption to many regs due to the urgency of the situation. Is this true?

Yeah, Tough job. I am computer illiterate so will have photos sent via an Ox.
