DOES INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO TREE CLIMBING RESULT IN UNSUPERVISED CLIMBING?
No. At our public and private group climbing sessions, we show articipants how to ascend and descend only. We do not cover essentials necessary to climb on one’s own, such as knots and knot tying, rope placement, equipment, etc. Instead, our participants tell us they gain a new-found respect and appreciation for trees and a desire to take part in future supervised sessions. Those few who do invest the time, money, and effort in taking the Basic Tree Climbing Course are instructed in wilderness, wildlife, and tree climbing ethics.
