 Re: Is this tree safe to climb? How would you do it?
This tree is a fantastic candidate for removal. I wouldn't personally be trying in any way to be keeping this tree for any reason to "learn on" even if you thought you had removed dangerous components.
I did notice in the background a couple of trees that would be great to learn ascending on and the use of a throwline in a confined space.
I will say however it is your life and go ahead and learn the mechanics of timber at the pace that you see fit. It's kinda like diving... You can test the depths and nitrogen buildup for yourself if you want. but there are charts and many hundreds have died before you getting this information so for me it was always better listening to those that had gone before me...But hey we love statistics it usually gives us another idiot law and some other reason why we have to waste hours on practising safety and not doing the job we came to do so go for it!!! |
