    Meniscus Tear

    Has anyone here had a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus? If so, curious what your down time was. I just got my MRI results and am pending scheduling a surgery. Obviously not looking forward to the recovery time but am looking for some insight. I’m torn (pun intended) about this so some...

    Double Handed Ascender in Comp.?

    I can’t find anything in the rule book about this. Can a double handed ascender be used in the ascent event as life support? Obviously this would be on two separate ropes, one for each cam and there would be a tether attachment of some sort to a harness. The little bit I found says that in 2017...

    Close to Brand New HHXF

    As the title says, it is up for hopeful TRADE or sale if I must. It was put on rope twice but only ascended about 10’ before realizing it is too large for my liking. Comes with 4 prussik cords and has the Rock Exotica swivel carabiner. Things I’m interested in would be lightly used saddle for...

    Worker Killed in Freak Accident

    This is pretty fresh and I’ll update as more confirmed details arise. An acquaintance of mine from Boise has been working for a traveling company out of Seattle. Late last week he was hit by a car working in Longmont, WA and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday night. After chatting with a...

    Self Sufficiency

    Anyone here doing much for self sufficiency? Something my wife and I have been on board with for years and recently have got things going on our “mini farm” in the city. Our newest venture is coturnix quail. Very fast maturity, prolific layers, fast incubation, easy to supplement food, don’t...

    Saluting Branches 2021

    A bit late but this is the quick edit my brother threw together for our first Saluting Branches involvement in Boise, Idaho. Not a lot of tree work in it but it does have a good vibe of everyone working together and having fun.

    Pine Removal

    Nothing real fancy, just my brother wanting to make a fun video for us. Only his 3rd one and I think it came out pretty good!

    UK 12 Evo 2’s, New. Trade Me (Sold/Traded!)

    Since there are so many here with Gumby feet, I guess I’ll post these. Got these a couple months ago for an employee but they were too small. He wore them around his house and quickly realized they were too small. They were supposed to be size 13 but apparently a UK 12 is more like a US 12.5...

    ISO Echo 2511

    All 3 of my local dealers are sold out and told not to put in orders because wait times are unknown. Does anyone have 1 or 2 new/very gently used 2511 that they happen to not need/want around anymore?

    ISO Bandit 90xp

    Hey Team! I’m hoping to find a used but taken care of 90xp. Closer to the West Coast the better, or if you are good with helping set up transport. Business is going well and needing this chipper for the pruning crew. Please let me know if you have any leads. Cheers!

    Long Shot - Boise, Id

    Not your standard posting and I’m aware of this. However, we, along with so many others here, are in a bad way and in need of employees. Looking for a well rounded climber with a great attitude. Unfortunately our housing market is horrible with nothing available so I can’t even sit here and try...

    Critter Stories

    Anyone have any funny, sad, or frustrating stories of run-ins while climbing? Yesterday I was removing two flowering pear trees and when I got in the second tree there was a squirrel really standing it’s ground in a second leader near my TIP. I tried poking him with a limb and shook the limb to...

    State Licensing (mine is pathetic/non existent). Ideas?

    Looking for ideas of what works and doesn’t work for those who have state licenses, or some sort of regulation, in order to “practice” arboriculture. My state is pathetic when it comes to this and joe blow, hobo with a chainsaw can get a business license and “cut” trees. I am sick of seeing the...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    Not to be negative but I think it would be fun for a little venting session. What are things on your jobsite that your guys do, the client does, past work you have seen, or contractors on your site do that tend to give you a little blood pressure rise. Only catch is that you have to have a photo...

    Company Hiring in Boise, Idaho

    Posting this for a local company. If anyone has a desire to move here and has the experience to help this guy establish his business it could be a good gig. Owner is a super nice guy but only has 6 months of experience (no climbing). I worked for him for a bit and was always paid my salary, but...
