Morningwood and I just got back from hanging with the OUTCCTT (Official Unofficial Tree Climbing Championship Training Team) family in Deltona, FL, and what a time we had! Scotty and his awesome wife, Joanne, opened their home to our family (six of us) and to a dozen+ others, kids and adults, for a couple days of recreational climbing and competition training.
Scotty and Doug L. took a lot of time, and no doubt patience, to show me the ropes and walk me through the basics. And Dale, Doug, Terry, Scotty, Brian, Big E, Eric and MW all helped out the kids on the zip line and climbing.
For the real climbers, there were stations set up for footlocking, belayed speed and work climb, and, of course, aerial rescue which allowed both climbers and judges to hone their skills.
It was a great atmosphere fostered by people who love trees and the people who care for trees. You guys are all top notch! Thanks for all you do, for us individually and for the industry in general!!
