On the image below you can see the stick of ash protruding over the track. I used 7m of ladder resting on the wall. I was standing on the top of the ladder so some 10m head height but I used a climbing harness to hold me to the tree. It's the first time I've used the harness and it makes a lot of difference. 1 I felt safe for the first time for the best part of a decade or more and 2 it gave me more options to position myself :)
