Default Would you climb this palm?

Well I did a quote today, but the bloke wasn't home. So before I email off my quote, I wanna get your guys opinions on this.

This is a dead Washingtonia Palm. The head has fallen off, now it's either to do with a lightning strike or drought. The base was firm and like rock as they are. At the base he has a pagola/shelter thing over his BBQ which is next to the base.

He said he was going to pull down the Pagola/shelter before I go up, so I was thinking of maybe just climbing up to just after where the mess/vines/deads fronds are clear, setting up a rig and topping it out on a lowering line.

Anyways thats what I've got to say about it, can you guys voice your opinions to me with this palm.

Oh P.S, the access to this palm is a gate as wide as 3 foot, so no cherry picker access.
