OUR MOST COMPREHENSIVE TREE CLIMBING COURSE

A TCP exclusive, drawing students worldwide that wish to become proficient in multiple tree climbing skills and philosophies.

An intense learning experience, this class is more like a tree climbing camp. The five full day course allows time and space for the student to learn, understand, experience and begin to master the skills, all while gaining the confidence to go out and climb a tree on their own.

INCLUDED IN THE 5 DAY CURRICULUM:

DAYS 1 & 2 | Basic Tree Climbing Course (see BTCC) The first two days are spent learning the Basic Tree Climbing Course.

Day 3 | Rigging for Comfort – This day will focus on using motion lanyards, pulleys, additional hardware which makes tree climbing more efficient. We will construct a tree top village with specially designed hammocks called Treeboats and sleep high in the trees – a highlight exclusively provided only at TCP’s treeweek course.

Day 4 | Tricks of the Trade – Learn efficient ways to traverse thru the canopy with limited gear. You’ll have the opportunity to explore “wild trees” with the skills you have obtained over the first 3 days.

Day 5 | Introduction to Single Rope Technique (SRT/SRS) – Advance techniques using specially designed equipment to make your ascent into the treetop more energy efficient. These skills are employed by canopy researchers to explore giant trees around the world.ss

“Tim is an excellent teacher of tree climbing who puts his soul into creating a respectful relation between trees and humans. If there’s anyone I’d trust my life to, it’s Tim. He has both the moral responsibility and the technical skill it takes. Moreover his teaching is filled with humor and philosophical depth, he’s a natural born storyteller.”
