Mid Ohio Tree put five new cables and hardware at around 30', 40', 50', 60' and 70'. They put larger cables with thimbles in place of the smaller broken cables that didn't have thimbles.

I do too! I'll let you know what Bartlett comes back with.

I'll do that. Thanks.

Just a quick update. The owner of the tree emailed me to let me know that Bartlett came out the other day to look at the tree. The owner said that the representative told her that he didn't know what to tell her except that he was going to research it and figure out what to do from there. She...

Man, 10,000+ feet of cable? The weight alone would be, what, 2500# at a quarter pound per foot? An extra ton of wire?

Jomo, that's nuts! That had to burn up his hands a little! Treelooker, I'll do that. Thank you.

I've never had to deal with a teenager texting in the trees yet, either.

THIS. This makes sense to me. I'll give a bad example. A couple years ago, before being introduced to rope access tree climbing, I found a geocache in a maple tree. It was probably 40' up in the tree. The tree had a ton of limbs all the way up. I climbed it without a problem. No rope, no...

I don't necessarily agree. I've worked on poles for twenty years. The lions share of the people that I've seen get hurt were the ones that got too comfortable up there and took risks I wouldn't have dreamed of taking. I STILL visually verify that I clip into my D's. I know two people, one at the...

I enjoy climbing. I enjoy it up to a certain height. I just stay below that height! It keeps the canopy free for the rest of you guys that like in up there.

Man, that'd be nice. The highest I've been was halfway up a 137' green ash. That was my tie in at the second limb. We had five people in the tree removing grapevines. It was all I could do to let go of the rope and grab vines to pull. 70'. Letting go of that limb to come back down was...

That makes sense to someone who does it. With me, I get to a certain point and from there every inch brings more doubt and fear. I KNOW every piece of my system will hold a pickup truck. I KNOW that the ten inch limb isn't going to break, but I can't get past the fear of falling. It's totally a...

Treelooker, you inbox is full and cannot accept new messages. Could you please send me a contact number or email? I know that the owners are going to contact Bartlett, but I'm sure they'd like to get your opinion as well. As for help, I could help from the ground or low in the tree, but I'd be...

I would guess 15-20'. The lower one is probably 10-15'.

I gave the Bartlett info to the owner. They're going to call Monday. I will keep you up to date on the tree and any work that gets done to it. Thanks again for all of the information. I appreciate it.

Good to know. I think they're a little gun-shy after the $700 fiasco. I'll send them Bartletts number and let them do what they will. It's not my tree, but it's a pretty cool one to have ten minutes from my house. Having permission to climb it is pretty cool too!

Thanks Jomo, I'll have them get ahold of them. Out of curiosity, does anyone have a ballpark what it might cost to have the three cables replaced? I understand that there are variables involved, and every job is different, but are we talking several thousand dollars? I Have zero experience in...
