This is the same process that pro arborists use to get up in the trees with out the use of tree harming spikes.
A special arborist class rope is set over a branch in the tree and with the use of a unique load bearing acsencion knot, campers go up into the tree. The campers wear a special tree climbing saddle, climbing helmet and gloves. It is a great activity. We have had our grove set up for two years and Tree Climbing quickly became one of our most popular activities.
