No mention of road 2060, the Clear Creek Road. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some damage. Anyone been up there?
Wow, it appears that the skinnier the sling materal is, the greater the percent reduction in strength from girth hitching AND, the two alternate methods, the strop hitch and climer's (or climber's) hitch don't improve matters much.
The fruiting quince tend to be more bush-like. The Smyrna is an attractive and relatively compact tree, but sometimes spring rain causes mildew on the leaves unless you spray. Cook's Jumbo is not really very attractive and I couldn't recommend it in the city.

Quince makes a great dessert baked in the oven with some sugar on top. Just peel, core and quarter.
If anyone wants some quince, I could bring some to Pub Club on Tuesday.
