Those were some confident cuts! First one looked good, smooth andeasy with the load moving nicely away as it found its centre of balance, the second had a bit of a snap to it....they always get the crane operators attention!!

You only had one crane right? So in the last two picks you topped them onto the stem butt tied (nice little ride there!) then disconnected from the crane to sling the load.., I'm quessing the line running off the branches as the last pick pulls away is the tail of the static rigging.
