This climb of a 100 foot maple tree in Seattle WA includes great canopy footage, a bit of technique, and a portaledge rigged in the tree from the previous night camping about 80' up.
Should hook a carabiner with a micro pulley on your hand ascender and use your leg muscles with no rope tending. Maybe you do now I’m watching your vid in May 2020. Stay safe
I've seen people use a kind of slingshot with a fishing reel attached. Once the bolt or whatever is slingshotted over branch, the fishing line is attached to a climbing rope and pulled up and through. Then it's all uphill.
That is an absolutely beautiful spot, Dave! Awesome video!!!
