Take a Good Look Up

Surrounded by this fast-paced world, we must remind ourselves of one of Earth’s most profound gifts—the access to trees. Tree climbing lets us experience not only the realms above the Earth, but the multitudes of differing canopies in all the varied locations around the globe.

Pacific Northwest Location

Oregon City, Oregon

CLASSES: MAY – OCT

TCP’s main climbing facility is located just south of Portland on 150 acres of forested farmland. Mature oak trees with wide crowns and suitable branches serve as the outdoor classroom, making learning easy for the novice. The site also contains a variety of elegant Big Leaf Maple trees, giant Douglas Fir trees, and revered Western Red Cedar trees, which play important roles as our teachers.

Our primary training tree is named Pagoda, a 75’ tall Oregon White Oak with a 3’ DBH (diameter at breast height). Pagoda has plenty of stout lateral branches for easy crown movement. Due to this architecture, students find her gentleness very contagious.

Food and lodging are not included in any of our courses, though this location does allow camping on-site (via HipCamp). Many sutdents prefer this as it enhances camarderie.

Facilities not provided. Strict pack-it-in, pack-it-out applies.
