Here's another rec climbing video, this time in eastern Mass. You might find some of the technical stuff interesting, did an SRT entry on a cinched 150' Tachyon using a simplified Tree Frog and then switched over to alt lanyard/DRT to go up to the top.

Note on white pines: some people ask me why I'll climb a species that is so covered with pitch. The answer is that most of the white pine growing woods has very little sap on the bark. The ones that do are in exposed positions where they suffer branch break during winter storms. Even then wearing smurf gloves and using rope sleeves keeps pitch contact to a minimum.
