What happens here

David begins his ascent up the tall pine tree. He uses a main climbing rope and a secondary safety line, carefully maneuvering through the branches. The narrator observes the process, noting the height and the difficulty of navigating the dense tree without cutting branches. The drone is estimated to be about 60 feet up.

Goal: Safely climb the tree to the drone's position.

Tools and materials

  • Ascenders/Descenders — Allowing the climber to move up and down the ropes securely
  • Climbing Harness — Supporting the climber during ascent
  • Climbing Ropes — Providing primary and secondary safety lines for climbing
  • Safety Knots — Securing ropes and equipment in various configurations
