Great call guys. Looks to steep to mill.

Good call on walking away. I’m sure there are ways to get the job done but it is not worth the risk.

Alot of those jobs around here in landrum

A job with in a job is what I call that not that is a bad thing. It just mean the first job needs to be done first weather it's you or someone else.

Tow strap/ winch line/cable, would have worked wonder's. Do it all the time in steeper inclines in northern Canada. Still alive and kicking after 65+ yrs . Just have to think out the safety methods first.

I don't blame you i would've done the same safety first every time

i dont mean to be a know it all but maybe go check out the job before moving all the equipment in.
