Top-Down Cutting

When the tree is too rotten to climb, too far from others to safely stretch ropes, a sky-hook is the safest way to take a tree down, in pieces.

Full climbing gear, chainsaws (yes, plural) at the ready. Following a full check by the Crane Operator, attached safety ropes to two points at the end of the cable and away he went.

Interesting but dangerous looking.
