I am a Uk arborist about to untertake to canopy access project in West Africa. In the Uk we don't get the opportunity to climb large palms so I was wandering how you would go about getting up one without the use of spikes?

I can't image its easy to get a thow line into one and if you did how could you see if you had a decent anchor?

Cherry pickers and ladders are out of the question as this is a remote rainforest location. Any ideas?
