62.34mb WMV video that saved me smashing windows by mere inches, got plenty of bang for my buck on this one.

Nice. I've never done that one.

Seen the viddy on this one on Ekka's Site. Great moves in a tight spot. Just shows though, that taking your time and doing it right saves you paying your excess. Wonder what the customer thought if they were stood behind the glass. LOL. Can imagine.

Like climbing a concrete silo that crap thing was!

TREE-SURFER · 5th February 2007, 03:31 AM

Hard as...

Lucky your groundy could double as a camera man.

Oldtimer · 5th February 2007, 11:20 AM

Eric, That is a very informational and well put together video as usual. Good Job.
That rope saved you some money and aggravation if that piece of palmtree would have gone inside the house and done some instant "remodeling".

Ekka · 5th February 2007, 12:06 PM

Yeah, and that was Brother Colin on the camcorder, good job.

Maybe we can hire you as camera man when Jim gets here Colin and do some really cool videos ... you know the man's a NZ champion climber. Can footlock like 50' in 16 seconds or something. So we'll run around setting lines in palms and he'll clean them in no time .... spikeless.

Now that would be fun......TO WATCH.

Man that is a technique I wish I had seen when I had a 60' pine in between a trailer a she and power on the other 2 sides.Would have definatly saved me some grief.

TREE-SURFER · 31st August 2007, 02:26 PM

Ekka has got some great video's on all aspects of getting the job done. I think he should be an instructor for the profession. Have you seen the DRT video with Colin demonstrating ascents? This guy knows a hell of alot and is well worth listening to.

newguy18 · 4th September 2007, 01:48 PM

Yeah I saw that one.

Ekka · 20th May 2008, 08:30 PM

YouTube - Vertical Speedline
