Climbing line or Bull Rope?

[avalancher]

I have several trees to take down this weekend, none of them are leaning any, but one HAS to drop in a direction to avoid a barn. I was going to throw a line up into the tree and attach it to a winch after running through a block on a nearby tree to direct the fall,but all I have is several hanks of climbing line.Is it okay to use a climbing line instead of a bull rope for this?its not going to take much for tension to get it to go in the direction that I need,but I want to ensure the drop in my direction rather than mother natures.

If a climbing line is used to pull a tree it has to be down graded to 'bull use only' from then on.

It's a good rule to follow.

Ditto. Once a rope gets pulled by more than human power, it is no longer a climbing rope.

Gotcha.Makes perfect sense to me.
