well if ya plan on doing many more trees you could investg in a throwball. its pretty much a little bean bag with a ring attached. tie some string on the end(approx 150 ft), about a foot and a half up tie a loop and your ready to go. toos it from the loop where you want the rope on the tree, bag falls down and tie your rope to the ring. pull it back through and now your ropes up high in the tree. im a tree surgeon and fgured id could give a little advice
