I had a great time- thanks to everyone. Stephan, we knocked on your door (I think it was your door?) Sunday morning. No answer. You must have had a good night. Sorry I missed visiting Heartwood's shop. I've been impressed with everyone I meet from that company.
A tree company that cares about it's workers and climbing? What?
Too many companies try to circumvent hiring good climbers in lieu of newer equipment more often. It's competitions like this that serve to unite the climbing community and remind everyone out there that great companies do exist. I've met several climbers who rave about their companies (Heartwood, Poteet) and a few who rant (publicly nameless). I feel invigorated.
Again- that competition was impressive. Stephan, Lance and everyone else, thanks. And thanks to Tom and Mark for a forum to talk about the before, during, and after of these events.

This is a pic of the Work Climb on set-up day.

Hi Boo,
I'm sorry that I did not get to meet you out there, I was running around like a headless chicken....
About the Suspension Trauma: That is an excellent question, and one that did not come up in the rescue scenario. I will ask around, and specifically ask Scott Prophet if he has any thoughts on it. From what I understand about S.T., if you lower the climber to the ground and lay him flat, he will die.
I don't know if incorporating that into A.R. would be that practical, as the point is to get the climber to the ground for the EMTs.
But it is a great question, and one that I would like to hear more about from the "experts".

Thank you so VERY MUCH Kentucky Sawyer for posting the picture of Lucas and Roger. We LOVE to watch Lucas compete, but due to distance can't always make the competitions. Nice to see a little bit of what went on. Wish that his "old man" would have done this when he was younger!
Hope to make the trip to Little Rock!
Thanks again...

Thanks easyphloem for acknowledging, I'm not trying to step on any toes. The "North Carolina guys" have a good reputation down south as being some of the hardest workers with "give a darn", being remembered as ones with compassion, and trust worthy, and have done alot of charity work after katrina. Some of the bigger outfits that take on some FEMA contracts have even paid high compliments to us "gitn er dun".
Would be a shame to be remembered as anything less than the good guys. I would hate for any of our champions to have to carry the thought of killing someone while trying to help them, or being the subject of a law suit.
I was just trying to be heard, and it seemed like noone cared for what I gather as something that could save a life, being the point in rescue.
Anyone performing arial rescue should be the "experts".
I hope I haven't offended anyone by posting this, as that is certainly not my intention.
Just my effort for adding this training to your arial rescue programs.
A climber being able to work after his/her rescue, to support his/her family, rather than the family making burrial arrangements.
A climber being honored for saving a life, rather than being haunted for taking one.
Sorry for the drama, I hope it sells.

Hey all,
Here is a small slideshow of the CAA TCC.

Don't miss it next year! I don't want to spoil the surprise, but we are thinking about having clowns that tie balloons into animal shapes wandering through the crowds!

Nice slideshow, nice prizes, nice climbing and really nice avatar by the way!
Hey, my mama's a clown who ties ballon animals. Maybe we could strap her to the roof of the truck and bring her on up there next year. She'd like that!

That is a nice slide show... On a side note, If I could give an award for the best sport, best attitude, best "spirit" if you will... It would give it to Mr. Mike Skillin. What a pleasant person to be around (with a really great accent, I wouldn't know anything about accents, being from KY and all)

Classic Photo of PG with sandwich board advert for climbers. What no pictures of Knucklehead? I guess all the paparazzi up in Raliegh have made him edgy around cameras.
