Default Re: lowering BIG blocks.

All very good advice above!
A crane operator experienced in tree work will talk you through the job and show you where to sling each lift.
Have you considered a contract climber for with crane experience for this job as a training execise for yourself?
Lowering big blocks is a bitch, we only do it when absolutely necessary.. As ekka said, tieing off the fat mothers so they don't slip out is very hard.
Good luck with it whichever way you go.
