Appreciate the tip John paul. As you know, I am knew to this site. I am already hooked and ready to climb. Got the trimming down pat, have for a long time now. I know alot of tree climbers, and I just can't believe the wide variation of attitudes. Some are simply in it for the money and others are in it for the art of the profession. On the job safety is more important to me now than it ever has been,-not to say that it was't, I don't mean that, what I mean is that a second opinion or maybe a third never hurts, but a tree coming down with you does. I will not let Tom's accident keep me from climbing, I am just hungry for info-the more I can get the better. I really believe that to be a good climber you probably need to be open minded and real observant and the rest will just come with experience. I plan to order the book and again appreciate the idea. Thanks much, Jacq
