Tree Climbing Resources
While there many possible tree climbing techniques, we have settled on a subset which satisfy the following criteria for a class of 8 to 12 students and four instructors:
- Students supervised at a 1 to 3 ratio or greater
- As much of the gear as is practical should be sharable with collegiate rock climbing programs
- Rigging should be lowerable as often as is practical
- Rescue should be simple and operable without the participation of the climber
- Systems should be minimum impact
