[QUOTE="SINGLE-JACK, post: 1834637, member: 36855"] True enough, the tree was sound enough (maybe not perfectly) for the TD to go just as planned. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT "just another day" for some people. Hopefully, some might actually benefit from these pix. The point here is, there was a hidden problem that went undetected because [U]sometimes[/U] just "thumping" the butt, even up 8ft ain't enough. (see OP) Gaffing ("stomping") the stem didn't reveal the hollow, either. "Thumping" the stem [U]while climbing[/U] might eliminate a trip home to change your shorts ... or worse ... [/QUOTE]
