Cleaned and cabled an old cherry recently with Alan Krieg Tree Care. Most of the crown was accessible from ladders, the roof and with pole tools, but as my friend Alan Krieg says, "sometimes you just gotta get personal." And for some of the thinning cuts and the cable installation, I found myself using my big canopy concepts in order to make small ornamental work less tiresome as well.
We tend to give the enormous climbs all the glory, but more often than not small ornamental canopies provide just as much a challenge, even if those challenges are presented on a smaller scale.
In the photo above: triple crotching while both of my bridges are engaged, uh yea and I'm about 14 feet off the ground. SRT, DRT and a static lanyard all deployed. My argument for it? Comfort I guess, and the fact that it looks super dooper cool.
