Why, Yes we do, Scotty! Geof, we will just have to keep those lines of communication open!

Tampa is just a hop skip and jump from Sarasota..and Orlando for that matter...

Here's my daughter from last weekend about 40' up a Walnut...

She's about to turn 10... I have this image in my head of her at 18 or 19 way up in the canopy yelling "CLEAR!" as she starts her chainsaw.

I don't get a lot of opportunities to rec climb but I love climbing so much that anytime I go up I'm having fun.

OK dear Blinky, how do you get the picture into the post and not as an attachment? email me thanks

I have me grands (child) for the summer and we are planming a rec climbing in atlanta at the tree school. She is getting excited about this adventue. Great to see the young ones climbing.

thanks

Hey Jerzey,

One of the easier ways to get pictures onto a page is to use a photo hosting site like Photobucket, but there are a lot of them out there. Just download your photos, and for this forum, look for the code that says IMG code, copy and paste onto the page......a like-a this

Re: Does anyone climb fo\' fun anymore?

wow, those foot loops are pretty nifty. Is that a mid-line grizzly... splice? Not sure of the proper terminology for that, but very nice.

Re: Does anyone climb fo\' fun anymore?

Contact Peter Jenkins should you want additional information about the foot loops as that is the place where that picture was taken and that is the supplied equipment that they use.

I have also used a T-bar and a single stirup, the t-bar so far is the tool of choice for me. (so far)

Rec climbing again tomorrow

enjoy the trees you climb.

hope to get more skyward pictures.

Re: Does anyone climb fo\' fun anymore?

Hey Climbncut, I will climb with you....here is some pictures of us yesterday in a beautiful American elm: Ulmaceae Ulmus americana L.

Re: Does anyone climb fo\' fun anymore?

Yeah that was fun but we need some others to get involved. i mean there has to be some crazy fool in the area that wants to spend some time in a tree and show us/learn some new things.

Re: Does anyone climb fo\' fun anymore?

all i can say is, bike swing, ill have to get picture cause you wouldnt believe me otherwise, i climbed a big red oak and set my climbing line on a nice long branch, then i repelled down and yet the rope as a swing, i then placed the swing under my armpits and i ride my bmx bike and bam, you have an invisible halfpipe, it works very very well, ive learned lots of new tricks useing this type of halfpipe, like i said, ill have to get pictures (and a new pillow for my swing cause my underarms are killing me)
