How would a mountain have been logged in the 30s?

A steam donkey. With a few drums.

It would be innovative at the time to be rigged between two spars and run something similar to a slackline setup, or maybe even shotgun (gravity) rigging with what we would now call a shotgun carriage with multiple fixed length chokers hung off a running carriage that goes up and down with the skyline. Those donkey engines were all friction rigs, which makes the gravity rigging a lot easier than a modern tower that’s hydraulic.

Another option is horses. Or, again it would be early, but crawler tractors and arches. Something like a Cat RD Series tractor with a winch on the back and an Athey wagon arch hitched behind it.
