    How do you get "up&onto" a trunk-fork when the trunk's large and your ascent leaves you short? (difficulty- no spurring)

    I went from struggling to hit a big target at ~35' to hitting a small target at ~40'. Might not sound like much, but I have the confidence to go farther than 40' if needed. When I was throwing one handed, my accuracy wasn't that great, and I wasn't getting the height. Keep in mind, I'm only a...

Give it a snap to set a wave in it, and it should climb up the stem. How well that works will depend on the variables, but a tree with...

    Pretending you're dealing with exactly what's shown(a tree with a Y that simply ends in 2 stubs with nothing above), perhaps you could "walk" a line up one of the stubs, girth hitch it, clip in, then use that to take up some weight while you work your way over the crotch.
