What was it you'd gone back down to get, Jim?_ I forget.
Went down to drag a tree out of the way of my client who was mowing the lawn. Hadda get a shot of you while I was down there.
That was a good climb. I had just put some brand new 2.2mm ZingIt on the reel. Legitimate 80 foot shots. We had set a par 4 on em and I think we eagled both.
Glen went up DbRT, me SRT, both of us using backed-up ascenders. We learned that so much of footlocking is about the footwear. I even brought up a Pantin and tried it for the first time... and probably the last.
Glen's gear was all shiny and new, I had climbed through a Summer rainstorm the day earlier and my gear wasn't as pretty.
Glen got up the full distance and then watched me monkey around the crown, setting redirects above my tie-in and scrubbing out the dead waaaay in the heck out there, working the chainsaw and pole pruners. It was a treat for me as I hadn't climbed with anyone in a couple years.
Here's a treehugger shot, a takedown I started Monday (it's now Wednesday). Bought a new 395XP for the occasion.
