Some of these guys that climb trees and cut them are amazing. I had a climber do some work for me when I lived in CT. He had what looked like an over sized sling shot, he would fire a ball with a string up over the limb he wanted to get his rope over then pull the climbing rope up and over. After that he would climb to rope like a mountain climber. Fire up his chain saw and go at it. He could also work his way around the tree using the same method. Got a couple pics of him in action. Met him at the Cub/Stihl dealer in Newtown CT while I was picking up some parts.
