Simple & safe tree climbing ascent technique

This is a basic Arborist tree climbing technique for ascending a tree safely with many branches, using a combination of rope throwing and climbing to ascend while always attached with safety rope and/or lanyard.

Great job! I'm up my tree now! Please do a video explaining how to get down. Thank you.

I’m just starting out like many. Intending on climbing for fun mainly. I’m slightly nervous of heights ironically but love climbing. Your video tutorials are invaluable and you’re a great instructor. I wish there was a local climbing club here in the North east, UK. I am climbing on a lock jack sport and use a grillon as my lanyard. I think ascending higher is just a matter of confidence in the gear and knowledge of self rescue. All the best mate, keep safe, keep climbing👍🏻

90% of the time this is how I get to the top. Great video.

People say this is one of the most dangerous jobs in the sates, but honestly it looked pretty darn wicked and cool. The fact you get to basically be a monkey and ascend trees daily looks quite a breeze. Honestly having this job with a 75% of falling is way better then say, I dunno spending half of your life in a job you hate that is indoors without advancing whatsoever. Great vid.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to create and share. I trained as a tree surgeon back in the 90’s, and the only stuff I do these days is really my own trees. Keep up the Greta work and work safe

[dakotabryson]

Really appreciate the video. Hear your voice in my head now when I'm climbing saying check the weight in the line or lanyard b4 disconnecting and ascend again to the next branch

I’ve just started tree climbing and it’s so fun and thanks to you I can do it very easily and safely

This was very informative and easy to understand. Thank you.

Thanks for the footage. Hundreds of tree climbing videos but very few actual tree climbing demonstrations.

Safe changeovers ... good stuff.
Tip: close fitting garb does more than just reduce snagging on branches, but also helps keep carabiner gates less prone to catch folds of fabric - good to listen out for the click of the gate closing / inspect to ensure carabiners are loaded at the correct orientation (free of side loading) ...

I like the way you climbing.learned a lot from your video thanks a million.very basic and helped me a lot when I tried this on a maple tree in my backyard.

[JaikerCham]

can you make a video about what type of rope do you use (grade/weight/strenght) as well as carabiners and harness type, etc...

[TheLightisGood]

Thanks so much for this and all the helpful videos. I hope to get a job in this industry soon and your videos are very helpful and inspiring. May God bless you.

[МирославГенадиев-дт]

I learned a lot of you. Everything is useful. Very well. Go on in that way!

[ToddHudsonAtl]

Another awesome video, dude, to augment the others that I find very good for building confidence. Thanks for posting...

[sampickett]

Great video for someone like me who is thinking about getting started. I don't want to spend a lot of money on gear, just to try something out. I do want to be safe though. Thanks

[olivierj.]

Very nice trees to climb in. Well done beautiful video. Cheers from 🇫🇷

One of the best videos on Youtube. Thank you. Question... What happens if you drop your main line (by accident) while you are disconnecting or reconnecting? Do you have it somehow tied to your harness, or would you have to lower another rope to the ground? Just trying to see through all the issues one could have on top.

awesome video thanks for explaining the basic ascent.

At fist I thought it might be interesting to do, but as soon as he got up and looked down, I am already getting the vertigo :D
