Fair play to you Mtt but that would take me a week ,a few reams of paper,a dozen ink cartridges and a lot of creativity to write a RAMS that could justify sending one of my lads up a tree like that .

If it was unclimbable i wouldn't be up it, but i would never expect anyone else to do what i do. Personally i would rather a mewp.
The big balls attitude is a killer.
Cherry pickermewp ????
Mobile elevated work platform.
Rubbish name
Thats where I would be, there are old climbers and there are bold climbers, you know the rest.

I could never climb for anyone else. I wouldn't climb a tree because someone else had made the decision it was safe. I dont mind risks, but only if it's me who's calculating them.If it was unclimbable i wouldn't be up it, but i would never expect anyone else to do what i do. Personally i would rather a mewp.

The only real way i can see to make it allowable would be ultrasound as depicted in "the body language of trees" brilliant book
Difference between a good and a bad climber, but it cant be taught having a passion for it makes a huge difference.I could never climb for anyone else. I wouldn't climb a tree because someone else had made the decision it was safe. I dont mind risks, but only if it's me who's calculating them.
Never climbed but had fallings out with people before when I've refused to use there idea of scaffolding.I could never climb for anyone else. I wouldn't climb a tree because someone else had made the decision it was safe. I dont mind risks, but only if it's me who's calculating them.
I once had a woman phone for a quote. I told her I couldn't quote over the phone as I needed to see the tree. She said that wasn't necessary as her husband had looked at it and it was safe to climb and would probably take a couple of hours. I asked what her husband did for a living; he was a shop manager.Never climbed but had fallings out with people before when I've refused to use there idea of scaffolding.
Rather walk away if it's not safe.
