Over the last 2 weeks we have had some pretty high winds for good portions of the day +20mph. On one of the worst of those days I did a pecan tree removal that required no riggng, but had to be limbed and topped to fit into the drop zone. Only one time the wind caught me off guard and actually moved me, but I was just hanging in my saddle, no big deal, kinda cool.
I later heard from a customer (price shopper) that she got a price from another tree guy that day because it was too windy for him to climb he was out doing estimates. Another guy at the wood yard said his climber didn't want to climb in the wind.
I thought these guys must be trying to get out of work, you can't be scard of a little wind. If a tree is so bad that you can't climb it in some wind you probably shouldn't be climbing it at all.
