hello all this is my first post... posting becuase i was looking for some advice... i am currently working for a tree service and have been for 3+ years, and the last year i have been climbing. we do mostly right of way clearing in the north west...oregon. my question is, i have never climbed spurless! i would like to do this as a career and love trimming trees. but i have no idea how to climb without spurs. and none of the crew or tree services around here for that matter do. and if i ever move to another location im screwed! haha...anyway what i was getting at is here in oregon we mostly trim conifers or it seems. so how would a guy go about trimming such a straight tree with out spurs? i understand the concept just not the technique. so which method would you guys recommend? i guess teaching myself is my only option for now... thanks for any advice!
