Newguy,

It's an interesting way of doing it. I think that using a setup like that puts a bit of stress on the climb lines though, as forces get multiplied at those obtuse angles.

Looked at one point when he was starting at the top of the first tree that he was using the bar to leverage the almost-cut block off of the top. I wouldn't do that with my saw...<shrug> Bit of one handing too, considering that yes, he is clipped into the dead one, and all it takes is him coming back and accidentally clipping his climb lines to drop him outta the sky. He was lined up several times where a kickback would have done it. Also was droppin blocks off both directions, all over the place.

He says, "that does it, short enough to fall" but still tall enough to hit the house. If I were up there I'd have probably gone down a little further since I'm already there.
Looked like he's skilled enough though, knows what he's doing.
