Often I can just bind the tree with a couple 10000 lb rated straps from tractor supply. Ratchet straps.

You could climb the remainder if you strap/bind the codoms. Prior to breaking is what I refer. Not only can stuff break away or under you, but a top can break off from above you just by shaking a bad tree like that gaffing it. Shit falling on your head will kill you as easily as a fall. No...

I reset as needed. Like put tension on the line. Capture the line on the porty.. walk back and cut.. More pull needed? Add more pull, capture line... Walk back and cut... rinse and repeat as necessary. rare I have to set it more than twice. Often just once.

Lets just say, that if you can break that much top out of it... you should not climb it :D I have not had my Maasdam slip either. Unless I did not tension it enough to start. Now if it is something you are going to worry about working solo.. Set a porty right under it and capture the tail of...

:thumbup:

I like that you have a tie in next to it. I would prefer a high line and hang off of that to keep my weight light on the stem... bind it as I go up in a few places. Need to hold all that codom together I figure 3X on the codom and holding leaders together. Then bind with straps the individual...

Yup.. black diamond.... Ski slope term. Black Diamond is pro level difficulty there friend.

And what Gary said. Pull as much apart over head as you can with throw line and rope.

From my chair... no climber. Felling it, yes use binders both below and above the cut. Probably rotten to the core. Do you have a pro faller you can call into play? Might be prudent to watch someone with more time under their belt. Learn from them by watching.. Cracked trees even mess with...
