Re: TREE Fun(d) Redwood Climb & the CMI TROLLEY
Nice shots, Greg. And a great big thanks to you for taking the time to get these trees in shape to climb. Several of the guides arrived early to knock out some big deadwood. Perhaps you could describe the pruning operation.
A couple clarifications: 1). The climber on the traverse in your message, "Here's some pics that I got when I could." is Pierre Tardif.
2). The upside down climber is actually Jerry Hamilton, from Ohio, not George.
3). The "Group" is (L-R) Seated: Ox; Joey Cornell, United States Climbing Team; Mark Moeske, Allmark Tree, NY. Standing: AJ Remy, Bill Miller & Assoc, Long Island, NY; Shelley Retchless, Huckleberry Gardens, Seattle; Jim Martin, Virginia; Jamie Goddard, Yale Cordage; James Piercy, Lake Tahoe; Mike Teti, United States Climbing Team; G. F. Beranek, Beranek Publications, Ft Bragg, CA; Buddy Paddy, U.S. Capitol Tree Service; Scott Chapple, Climbing Arborist, Seattle; Pierre Tardif, San Jose, CA; Frans Smith, Frans Smith Tree Service, Healdsburg, CA; Jerry Hamilton, Tree Masters, Ohio.
