Gentlemen:
I've been watching, and learning from the sidelines, and am impressed with the vast amount of knowledge possessed by the collective group of Arborist's assembled here. I have been climbing for 6 years.
Would anyone have any suggestions for a method to reach
the tips of large limbs which are to be removed, when those limbs are at a 45 degree angle to the main trunk.
The tips of these limbs are at the same height as as my tie in point which is anchored in the highest point of the tree. I'm using climbers(it's a removal). I've double crotched with some limited success to smaller limbs on these main branches, to give me stability on the climb up. But these branches are gone as I decend since they have been cut and rigged to the ground.
I wind up sliding down the branch on my a--, with the branch between my legs,with my flipline around around the branch (6- 20 inches in diameter from tip to main trunk).
I've also tried climbing up the side of the branch, keeping my climbing line taught, using my climbers and flip line to advance.
Thanks
