[QUOTE="blewgrass, post: 1834020, member: 29386"] Had a similar situation in a birch once. Thought it was sound and climbed to take a few branches out, when I went to drop the trunk my face cut ran into dust when it hit the heartwood. I think it's more dangerous to have a tree heart-rotted when you're felling it vs. when you're climbing it. The sapwood plenty strong usually, but when there's no heart, your hinge is compromised.
