Default Re: Would you climb this palm?

Yeah that's a bad one, I wouldn't be going much more than half way ... also gets scary trying to get some hingewood.

You want to make sure your saw is razor sharp and when it starts to go over cut through the hinge ... keep cutting, the last thing you want is for it to hang on and slap the hell out of ya.

Decent saw, nothing smaller than ms250 and 16" bar, razor sharp, you need to get a pull line in it too, I use a pole when I get to cutting point and can stick a rope up some 5m above me.
