Had to choose between a bucket truck rental or climbing a 60-foot oak in Portland last month

Went with the climb to save the client $800, and honestly, the old-school rigging felt more precise for the crown reduction. Anyone else find themselves going back to ropes for certain jobs even when a lift is an option?

Ever try a speed line in a tight backyard?

Remember that time I tried one and took out a fence? Good times.

Craig.mila, what was the toughest part of setting that line?
