Let's climb!

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.

We do not cover the intricacies involved in technical tree climbing during Open Climbs. Participants are only shown how to ascend & descend under the care of a professionally trained and experienced tree climbing facilitator. 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.
