Great vid, as usual, Reg. How many slings do you tend to take up at once when doing speedline work?

Nice work Stephen!

Illegal to keep bees like that? Why? I think it's a good solution. Ripping open that log would be a nightmare. The bees will be much happier the way you have it now.

Thanks Dave.

What's the plan for undercutting the root ball?

This is my standard method when spikes are not an option, or if there is a big skirt of old fronds. If you generally work DdRT then do like Jake suggested and attach a pulley to the rope end with another climbline through it before pulling it up. Then base tie the original rope. When using...

Thanks for the vid, Reg. I've never worked in an environment before where a grappling hook would be useful like that, but it's such a cool tool. How long is the second rope that you're using with the hook? Is it basically a second full length climbing line, or do you use a shorter line for...

Damn Ed, that was a nasty one. Serious hit followed by a serious fall.
