Wet Climbing

[Fairfield]

I have no issues with saying I HATE wet climbing...... and, let me step back a moment and give full credit to those that live in areas where that is a norm. I have no issues with wet industrial climbing, but wet tree work..... its, its like..... eehhhhhh preaching to the choir.

Great video. Totally feel your pain. Boss always scheduled pruners on rain days.

looks like you stripped a lot of interior growth out of the tree... WHY???

Took a bad fall when young slipping on lichens on a rainy day free climb to tie in. They are like ice. You do what you gotta do to pay the bills. One time I climbed all day on a td in pouring rain by myself as mortgage was due and my fingers were all crinkled up like just getting out of the bath tub. But if you got spikes on not so much of an issue. A boss might be found negligent forcing pruning work on such a day if an accident happened.

Na, I do see why you think that though, really started with not a thick crown. Mainly going after dead and anything the old man pointed at.
