    Worlds Tallest Sitka Spruce

    Cory, that tree was spared because it was too much work to get out of there. I heard it directly from the guys who cut away everything else around it. Terrible access, Ive been there. Selling the story now as some kind of compassion is complete BS

    Worlds Tallest Sitka Spruce

    They both, boadleaves and conifers have for and against, Jon. Some of dead, rotten firs Ive climbed out here have perhaps put me in the most dangerous situations I can remember. They might be more simplistic in theory, but the state and form of the tree, matched with an unfavorable location...

    So climbing the giant would mean camping the night before I suppose. Because those first 200 feet would take some time as all the limbs are drooping. Scott had a little go, but didnt get far before we ran out of time

    Worlds Tallest Sitka Spruce

    Its a real pita to get to....even after the 4 hour drive. No cell service for the whole second half of the drive. Then you fighting through the worst kind of bush.....sometimes 5 mins just to get a few yards. If youre lucky you might hit a big log pointing the right way.....but mostly theyre all...
