My nephew did that first time I saw him climb after college, swimming alongside an oak branch 12‘ diameter you could hang a car off.
Yes it works, but on a daily basis on multiple branches it’s exhausting.
In your scenario I don’t doubt it was the best/safest method
I always say ‘if you can...
Well, yes.
But when you fall off walking backwards (with tension on the rope) there’s a tendancy to try and right yourself, in doing that you fall sideways and spiral out of control.
I was looking at the other thread and not understanding a thing about 3 in 1s for branch walking redirects and all that.
So I’ll explain how I do it how I get out and how I get back.
If I have a reasonably long walk out, I never or almost never do that walking backwards letting the rope out...
Interesting, I’ve been in sales, some of it pretty tough cold calling.
Some of the best ones were bereft of any sort of embarrassment, completely unaffected by repeated rejection, never saw it affect them.
We’ve had this one before Steve.
Apart from it being pointlessly big, the most obvious error is the groundy in line with piece.
He could just as easily be off to the side and walking normally today.
I would have thought construction crane work involving known weights, picking off the ground/truck with precise distancing would be infinitely preferable (and more lucrative) to tree work for crane operators.
Just my thoughts, from a position of knowing eff all about it.
