Tricky access cat in a tree rescue

[moss]

Helmet cam died before I got the cat but that was the least interesting part. The cat was an easy grab, total sweetheart. No anchor options for the tree the cat was in, tiny branches on a tall skinny white pine. Went to a bigger pine and attempted to hook across, turned out there was nothing good to hook into either. Ended up essentially walking up the back of the trunk of the skinny tree with help from my line out of the bigger pine. Turned out like limbwalking a vertical trunk, was pretty quick once I got going on the backside of the tree. Cinched lanyard held me from swing back.
