The piece that split away was hung up in the maple so I tied into the maple and chunked it down. The other half was kind of scarey, it leaned hard toward the house. I set a tag line in the top with a throw line and climbed up about fifteen ft. above the split, notched it and pulled into the back yard. It was too risky to climb to the top and rig it down. I had no other TIP for it so I had to yank it on down.
