rigging for dead tree removal, Harlem.

yikes!! the tree was dead for many years. about 6-7 stories tall. 2 dead stems. small backyard, fences, gardens, no drop zone anywhere. unfortunately i was the only camera friendly person at the jobsite. so, i took pictures before and after ascending the tree. luckily, there were 2 large trees to the left and right of the removal. the following set of pictures illustrates how i got this thing on the ground safely and without damaging anything. actually, this job was a really interestng rigging challenge. which made it quite fun. i was able to create a rigging scenario using the live trees on either side of the dead one.
