Ok, ok, now that the weather is warming up I've started climbing hardwoods again. Nevertheless I'm still compelled to locate and climb tall white pines.

Here's one that I applied the Jim K "Find a reason not to climb" policy to. Maybe someday. The damn thing is all trunk with a skimpy little crown leaning way out to one side at the top. It will be an adventure if I try:



Here's another near the first, again opted not to climb. The crown on this one is ridiculous, one massive side limb/reiteration, the rest sketchy:



I did find one to climb. In the photo straddling two leaders about 8 feet from the top of a 130 footer:

Very Nice! 130' does not come easy down here in the hurricane / lightning belt.

I love climbing pines too Moss. Sure wish I could find a real tall one near home.

David,
I can't feel to bad that you don't have tall pines, since you have cornered the market on tall cypress...

And them Live Oaks ain't too shabby neither..
