Welcome .....

I saw a pair of what I think might be those on ebay. They were "C" shaped bars, looking like log rollers.

It was only after struggling with a "flip line" that wouldn't flip, and that I had to unclip and reposition around obstructions, that I thought there must be an easier, safer way.

Now, I'm not claiming that Ice axes will do this, just that I'm going to try them out.

Ciao... hi evrybody,
this is Max from Italy, Alps and lakeside..
just come on treeworld, I'm arborist and tree climbing for 6 years now,

I'm associated with Sia, italian chapter of ISA, we are trying to extend the knowledge and respect about trees all over italy...that's a kind of long way, but we'lltrust in it. Same way to improve the tecnical and safety aspect of tree climbing, that is very much needed here, where lot,(most) of workers do it old style way. But slowly years by years it is growing.



I heard many times about ice axe and crampons tree climbing, some do it for training or so, when is not ice season, but many years ago, and maybe is still in use, i knew about some alpine guides that was using these method for pruning, mostly i heard about chestnut tree...
they was saying this didn't hurt the trees cause of the very thick bark..
actually is not really like that..
but i don't really see it good also for dead trees, i climb with DRT and i find it very confortable , safe and right for working, ice axe can be a fun and nice way to remount a dead tree, but just for fun, i am also ice climbing , but i think that spikes are the more right stuff to use in working environment..
Maybe in particular situation they could work ..but..don't really know it yet..

Ciao

Eric Frei

If you have picture please do post them, I love seeing pictures in other countries.

I bet we could share a few nice vinos!

You know that's one of my favourite beers.

I actually brew my own imitation of it at a micro brewery, it's very close to the real deal.

I try very hard to have lots of European tree people here, and it's working, hopefully they chime in and you feel very at home here.

Fighting hacks seems a global problem.

Sorry, I suspected it might lose something in the transition. Some call going number one pea. Wasn t that funny anyway.

We just got off a nasty winter and last 2 days 70f and sunny. I also always think, "I got a whole day to climb around and improve trees and play with big oversized toys" Too much fun.
