Really cool video. My daughter is an activist, an active forest defender who has lived 100' up in a tree, off and on, for several years. The longest she usually goes without coming home for a few days of long hot showers and some Ben & Jerry's therapy is, oh, about three or four months.
The very old trees she and her compadres occupy are on heavily forested land that Green Diamond wants to cut.
Just this past week, she was part of an action protesting Green Diamond clearcutting the forest near Jacoby Creek Road north of Eureka in Humboldt County, a forest a lot like the one in this video.
People would be outraged if they knew how much clearcutting going on in California's far northwestern redwood forests. Meanwhile, my daughter and those like her continue to sit in trees 24/7, week after week, month after month, trying to save a little bit of that redwood forest for all of us.
So, I assume you didn't rope climb it. DId you spike climb? I need to thin out the top of my redwoods because they're blocking the pool. I'm thinking about getting sprike spurs because I don't think the limbs are strong enough for a rope climb.
For people who enjoy redwoods, I'm propagating a page on the largest redwoods known - but they are undisclosed. Same titan redwoods as written about in the book The Wild Trees. It had no photos and just drawings. So after I located the groves, I posted some nice size images. The album link is on my page. URLs don't seem to work here. Google "mdvaden" and "grove of titans" and you will find the page right away.
Hi, I´m german. I tell that fact because we name some things different. We call Branches which grow upwards and creating a "treetop" in an tree "reitarate". Reiterate means the branch repeates the whole canopy and gets growing upwards. They sometimes grow in competition to the origin treetop.

No one there that day used spurs.
Good luck with your redwood trees.
Have a nice day.

Really?
That was a fun climb, I was a little nervous.
I'd never been in a tree that huge.
I wish we woulda gotten to the top.
Always another day. :)

They weren't really codominants but more like spars
spurned from multiple tops that were created at one point.
They were branches that went skyward.
