Wow, and to think I hate to climb ladders even when done right.

The guy has a safety line tied below the cut. It wouldn't be fun if the ladder slipped, but he wouldn't get seriously hurt. OSHA rules allow it.

I see no problem.
There was a problem, it got solved

if he is cutting where he is at

that's an awful lot of tree overhead, i would probably climb a bit higher

Quick, hand up another ladder.

Maybe it's the angle but it doesn't look like much clearance for those electric lines either.

I like the use of the loader to keep the building from getting hit.

If it falls toward the lines he will just climb down and push them out of the way from the first ladder.

Magnificent.

I particularly like the proximity to power lines. That's what really pulls all of the stupidity together into a glorious and magnificent whole.

While that is really frightening to look at, I note that they've already cleared a bunch of limbs without damaging the power lines or the fence or shed, which are all really close to the tree. Whoever that crazy guy is, he's good, I'll give him that.

ETA - the right way to do that job is with a 75' man lift, but you could only access the tree from the yard. The power lines prevent access from the alley side.

If the top end of the ladder that he's standing on is secured to the tree, he'll be fine.

He is. He's doing all that work one handed.

You can see straps where he has secured the ladders.
