This multi trunked maple had one lead fail, and, being on a hill, and leaning up the hill, and over a fence and the neighbors' yards, presented a bit of a challenge. We met the challenge with judicous use of speed lining, to lift and turn the limbs as needed, with careful tensioning with my Toyota pickup. This requires extreme caution, so as not to overly side load the anchor point in the tree. Breaking it out would be catastrophic, especially since Patrick, the climber was tied in near it.
