Minnesota Tree Climbing

[TLHamel]

It's that time of year again. We've turned the corner toward Spring. Temperatures are warming up and the snow is melting. It has been a long, difficult Winter for many of us. Let's leave this Winter behind and enjoy some recreational tree climbing!

Chime in on this thread if you have a cool location in mind or want to set something up. I will post here every time I set out for a climb.

My Grandmother has two massive Burr oaks in Lauderdale that I will be deadwooding in a week or two. Fun in these huge trees and she provides the cookies and coffee!

Pro bono work? Count me in, can Ben come too? He keeps making me do all the climbing on the job and it's starting to get old.

 

[TLHamel]

Yep, Ben is invited for sure. And remember, it's not pro-bono. Just rec climbing at my Grandmother's house! With free cookies and coffee!

 

[jim454]

Make it flavored coffee and I might just make it. Might even bring Chip-er.

 

[TLHamel]

She makes old school boiled coffee... but none of that flavored stuff! Guess it runs in the family.

Count me in Taylor, Coffee and Baileys, Cookies too. That might be against the ISA code of ethics I filled out a few weeks ago, keep in touch

An awesome weekend climb prior to the Short Course!
Sounds like we've got two or three besides myself already. Oh, and brother Brock may be there as well to help on the ground and offer shooting advice.
