I can easily imagine how much of a relief it would have been to get below that tearout...awful amount of movement when Aug was getting those uppermost pieces off.

:lol: Link?

To be sure, I've pushed the envelope from time to time myself...not saying August is wrong, not saying he's right. You have to be there and make the sometimes scary calls all by yourself sometimes. That one was pretty ugly; I said I'd not have been happy about climbing above that tearout...

At least a reason, anyway :).

:lol:

Clanking balls might be one :D.

Nor I.

Clanking balls when he walks. I'd not have enjoyed climbing above that breakout at all.

It might also be called..."if you want to optimize your rope on rope friction potential, use this". :D

Boy, howdy.

A good mix of skills there, Fi.

An employee owned business model might be worth looking into. I know nothing of them in specifics, but at least two quite successful businesses I frequent are doing it that way.

Oh, I can be fairly dense, for sure :).

Not long, me. :) And you are of course correct, they did a fine job safely. I wouldn't suggest felling, had I seen any damage likely, Sean. I'm not that dense.

I even see the possibility of a simple fell with no climbing/rigging. But pictures always tell less than the whole story.

There's always been obstacles here, Mick.

It's a challenge, getting women into the arb field. Too much muscle needed for most of them. I trained, certified, and worked with a goodly number of female USFS climbers. They could do the natural resource management work absolutely, all up. But that didn't call for heavy labor, chainsaws...
