Elevated Precision: Crane-Assisted Dead Lead

Watch as a seasoned climber is lifted by a crane to tackle one of nature’s most challenging obstacles—a massive dead lead on an old oak. Strapped in and fully geared, he scales the height with engineering precision and expert tree-climbing skill, then makes his descent to cut away the hazardous lead for the ground crew. This isn’t just a stunt—it’s a blend of innovative rigging technology and rigorous arborist technique, proving that when it comes to high-altitude tree work, meticulous planning and guts are non-negotiable.
