This was alot funner to climb than set up.
Its a short vid. Try to stay awake.

The 1st line was a SRT rope wrench frog walker set up.
After those were done I swung over to a DRT set up I had in the next cluster. I tied this off to the standing end of the 1st line so it would be easy to get to.
Then after ditching the 1st line, I swung over and handled the next cluster. On the bottom of that DRT rope I had the next SRT line tied on. That one led to the furthest palm. Between the 3 lines I managed to do 10 trees and didnt spike them once!
Hardest set up ever but the climb was worth it.
They sway big time so when your double tied and have the lines taught and running parralel to the ground things get interesting...and bouncy!

whew Im tired
 
Songbird, tell him I said, "Thats the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me"

I would have liked to have met him but wont because I am sure to die in the heat finishing the back yard trees today.

I want you to have my gear.
