Trust me, I've been over 80-90' up in some of the pine trees I have done....and nothing 'puckers your butt' like topping a pine tree around 80' off of the ground or higher, that trunk turns into a wobbly toothpick. You've gotta keep your wits about you when you're up there.... I like it when you're waaaaaay up, climbing a trunk and one of the gaffs slips in the bark of the tree......you can almost feel the dribbling down your leg......
Thanks brother! We even saved almost all of the saplings that were around it. There was a 20' tall oak sapling right against the base of the tree, we pulled it out of the way with a rope and it made it through the ordeal!!
