Harness, Climb up, Set ropes, etc.. And use extra rope to tie onto the peice your cutting off, (use the branch under it for a pully branch, cut, and lower.
Slow and steady, dont cut too much down at once, rinse repeat.
Get beer, have Fire, drink beer. :D
Haha this is exactly how I was planning on doing it I never thought of the pulley though, definitely a better idea the bigger pieces just fall.

Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely let you know what we end up doing. Regardless of how it comes down I suspect we'll have a bunch of wood available :thumbsup:
