Do you know any engineers with balls enough for this?
My dad worked under a couple of steam donkeys, the speed and torque produced make my machines look wimpy.
As for climbing I have a couple of guys that live for it, I think they even make excuses to insure that each layout needs a tail tree.
For any of you that think you are tough imagine climbing 40-80 feet up a tree topping it, pulling hand over hand several hundred pounds of rigging all the while standing on two small spikes strapped to your insteps.
Rigging a tail tree takes usually half a day, we do that sometimes twice a day....
All in all it beats being in the law profession, JAMO>>>
