| Description |
English: By the 1920s, many logging companies rigged cables and pulleys on tall spar trees to haul logs to loading sites. Once a spar tree was chosen, a high rigger scrambled up the tree, cut off the branches and the top, and attached pulleys and cables. To help him climb, he wore a special belt and spikes on his legs and boots. It might take him thirty minutes to climb a 180-foot tree.
This photo shows a high rigger on the trunk of a spar tree. He's wearing his climbing belt and spikes, and he carries an axe to cut off the branches and top the tree. His saw probably hangs at the end of the dangling rope.
