We introduce Open Climb participants to our favorite climbing trees - given their beauty, surrounding views, or experiences they provide.
|
Open Enrollment Climbs (Open Climbs) allow you the opportunity to experience climbing tall trees like the professionals, using rope and saddle under the watchful eye of a tree climbing adventure guide.
Experience the thrill of laying a hammock up in the branches, exclusively at Open & Open-Advanced Climbs! No experience is necessary & all equipment and instruction is provided. We keep it simple...we handle the safety inspections and provide the gear and guidance so you can enjoy the tree climbing experience. Register directly with Treetop Explorer through our online store. On-site registration may be available if climber capacity has not been reached. These climbs differ from our Rec Climbs in that they have lower capacity (climber to facilitator/rope ratio) and the hammock in the branches adds another element of challange and relaxation. Have you climbed with us before & interested in more challenge and freedom of more movement around the branches?

We do not cover the intricacies involved in technical tree climbing during Open Climbs. Participants are only shown how to ascend & descend under the direction of a professionally trained and experienced tree climbing facilitator. Tree climbing exposes participants to inherent hazards and risks. If you want to learn how climb on your own, check out our Learn-to-Climb training classes.
Treetop Explorer procedures comply with the facilitated tree climbing guidelines put forth by the Global Organization of Tree Climbers. Our lead facilitators are recognized by the GOTC.
