I finally reached the terrifying summit of the dead tree in my back yard. I estimate it to be about 70 feet - maybe 80.
Here's what it looks like from up there.
In case anyone is worried for my safety - I am using a harness and rope lanyard - so I cannot fall. Thanks for your concern however.
There's Vic way down there
Success. Unfortunately there's a lot of tree left to get. This took 30 minutes to climb and 30 minutes to cut (I only brought a pruning saw because hey - the limbs look small from down there). It's going to be a huge job - probably knock off till next spring.
