Learn to Climb

Climbing trees is one of the most unique, exciting, and fulfilling skills you can learn.  Whether you are looking for an adventurous hobby, searching for a more intimate experience in nature, or wishing to work outdoors, tree climbing can fulfill these desires.

​Climbing trees opens up a whole new frontier for your adventurous spirit to explore.  Most trees have never been climbed or explored by a human being.  You may be the first and possibly only person to experience a particular tree.

Classes are offered year-round. Join us for one of our scheduled courses or contact us to schedule a personal or in-house training session.  
Learn to climb trees on your own using MRS/DdRT system and techniques, chosen for their consistency and dependability when aloft.
