I'm going to embrace my style. I normally do whatever is easier and safer. I listen to a hand full on this site and you and merle are one of them. Thanks, bud.
Yea, i kinda figured it's grab and do what ever needs to happen to get up there and get the job done, and stay balanced. Most of the time if the tree is big enough and i have all my stability i don't have to grab the tree just my lanyard. But, i get what your saying about the downward angle, i...

Step, step, set one higher , then flip.
I'm home from my job , about half way done out of the 20plus trees to take down, On the real skinny tree i used the 540 and my hands then advanced the wraps it was easier to just hold the skinny little thing and climb that way. On the little bit bigger tree (still skinny) i used the x wrap as...
