What to expect the day of your climb:

When you arrive, the climbing tree and area will have been inspected and prepared for your climb. Participants are fitted into gear, given instuctions on technique and safety parameters, then placed on rope by a qualified tree climbing facilitator.

Each climber receives personal attention and assistance until they have picked up the basic climbing technique and begun to tie safety knots.
Once all ropes are filled, remaining participants are put on a rope as one becomes available.

The easy-to-follow steps in the climbing technique have participants ascending on their own relatively quickly!

We install numerous ropes in our climbing trees, each rope/route providing unique challenges and experiences. The height of each rope varies, typically between 15 feet and 45 feet. Climbing on your own rope allows you full control of how high you wish to climb during each ascent.

Adventure begins the moment your feet leave the ground. Tree climbing is not necessarily about how high you climb and certainly nothing to do with how fast you climb. It is about taking on personal challenges as you feel comfortable and connecting with trees, Nature, and yourself. 

Understanding that each person enjoys tree-time in their own way, from sitting or standing on branches, to swinging or climbing as high as possible, a climber's time on rope may vary greatly. Our climbs typically allow for repeat ascents and ample time for you to enjoy your time in the tree your way.
