i think there is no other option except to climb in the scenario.
i would work it down smaller; looking at weight, balance, where curves in spar were. i will pace off size of LZ, then do rake trick, then pace back the LZ size from the fall line determined by rake trick, do rake trick sighting, mentally mark, and repeat for like putting 80' in a 20' "box".
So here i would do that, try to get 15-25 out, maybe have to make one cut, and then cut stump high, gives better padding for fall that way too i think.
The only scenarios were i would opt more towards what is pro-posed that come to mind is if i needed the extra length for leverage, lower CG of victim to bring backlean forward more positively. Or top to rotted, super small etc.
i think with a back leaner is a very good example of using tapered hinge, and why; especially in such a position. Let the hinge steer (in good wood) the sidelean, and all effort be to target! Do not waste any effort pulling a tree off of a man, by using some of the key force to steer, when hinge can do that task; let all the force crew exerts be to save man! i'll also take that over the hill lacing here, even if it jsut braces the back of the lean to push forward...
Even if perfectly balanced, a lil taper pulling away from you can be comfortable i think.
Everything to scale, at some point too much 5x1 x 3 crew is too much on hinge, i beleive in forcing a stronger hinge; but i think it is an equal and opposite response;and at some point if something slipped under such high tension X leverage distance of hitch form hinge the massive opposite reaction you created could devastate if it wins out.
Another way that can go (not that it ever has happened to Meee....); is inciting such an equal and opposite reaction in hinge to force slow and strong, and you have a bunch of guys fumbling around each other suddenly, also it takes 5' of pull for 1' of action, and the spar is forward some, and they need to pull line tighter jsut a lil bit, cuz it is drifting a few degrees off; and you imposed this super force in it to go were it is designed, and they can't reel it in as fast as a single line with 2 guys and so it goes...................
Grabbing the host line and not the 5x1 they been pulling on saves the day, or in front of the power puller etc. Getting the speed of the 1x1 rather than 1/5 speed, while fumbling and trying to reel in faster than advancing. But, i just made that up....
