Tree Climbing

Tree Climbing

Description

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.

Go to to www.newtribe.com for info on the sport and to purchase any equipment you might need. Or call me, Andy Adams, at (434) 454 7676.
