It's time for Scenario 3! Everything that you need to know is below.

Your crew was called in to remove several large dead limbs hanging over the yard and to conduct some other ornamental pruning on the property. Initial inspection from the ground shows that there is a major dead limb that is compromised - visible rot, missing material, and fractures seen at the union and throughout.

The tree lacks a significant center and ideal area for a central tie-in due to a storm a couple years ago. Because of this, the climber, Paul Victim, made an ascent and set up an M system (V-Rig).

Having removed two low hanging large dead limbs already, the other crew members left the immediate vicinity to retrieve water for the climber. Upon returning, the ground crew members found Paul Victim unconscious, hanging in the center of his V-Rig directly underneath the major dead limb with visible swelling and red marks on his face and neck. No one knows if he has a bee allergy, but it is known that the remaining crew members do not have allergies.

• The victim's tie-in points shall be between 30' and 60' above the ground, and at least 15' apart
• The climber's rope appears un-compromised, the tail is on the ground.
• The victim shall be 20' or more above ground level and at least 5' below the major dead limb
• The dead limb is between 6" and 12" in diameter and longer than 10'
• The dead limb shall be between 25' and 40' above the ground
• There is a Port-a-Wrap correctly installed on the base of the tree. There is no rigging line in the tree, but there is one available
• The V-Rig system can be set up with one or two false crotches or friction savers

• There are no extra points for removing the dead limb
• The dead limb used for the scenario can be a living limb, and does not need to be removed unless you deem it necessary
  • Please mark the limb in some way so the audience knows which one it is
• The scenario tree can have a center, but you must act as if the center is gone
• The victim must be lowered to the ground for this scenario
