John,
Anyone can compete as long as they are an Illinois Arborist Association member. All climbing gear has to meet or exceed the ANSI Z133.1 Standards. Only Illinois residents can compete in the Masters Challenge. Thanks.

Didja see him when he was about a foot of the ground and didn't have enough energy to grab is knot to get down, yelling "AERIAL RESCUE!!!" He had me in tears. And Leif, that guy has only been climbing for about 7 months.
Mark, you're right, it's all about fun.
Ohh, where are the "HELL...
Well, I pretty happy with my results. Overall, I was number twenty out of thirty. I must admit, I was really nervous. I've never done it before, nor seen some of the competitions. I was fotunate enough to have a friend in the same group, that really took the pressure off. (you might have...

I'm the only one at my company that has been climbing with an advanced hitch set-up. For about the past month or two, Ive been showing others the benefits of this system. While at a trade show, I bought severval different tresse cords to experiment with and pass along to...
Alright folks, I've got a saw for sale. It's in great condition, I've probably ran about 3 or 4 tanks through it. Everything seems to be ok. Reason I want to sell it, I need $ for moving. How's $200 + s/h sound? Normally goes for $300 new.
Also, while I'm at it, I got the entire collection...
