I had a feeling that phone was yours Stephan. I asked what other numbers were on the phone and he gave me about 15 different 1.900 numbers. Several of which I didn't have already.

They should change the name to "Little Tree AR." If that tree is the master, I don't want to be a slave. PG

At least the climbers got 25 minutes to complete the masters challenge.

 

[Morice]

That was very nice, because that's about 15 minutes more than they needed!

 

[Morice]

Sweet, I'm officially a dabbler!

 

[WWCTreeCrew]

Well, I bettered my placement since Charlotte!! And I got some pics of the nice trees for the comp. Not so large, but awesome non the less. Here's the scoreboard.

 

[Morice]

Congrats Andrew on the Rookie Award though, I also voted for you. I'm glad you were surprised!

 

[Morice]

Stephan thought that Abecedarian was the Latin name for A Lincoln Cedar!...I on the other hand simply googled it!...Thanks Tom!

 

[WWCTreeCrew]

here are some pics of the work/ master tree. It was a fun tree. Wish I could of climbed it again though...

 

[WWCTreeCrew]

I need to figure out how to put pictures on here without editing it. Here's a pic of camille in the tree.

 

[WWCTreeCrew]

And here's the limb walk, but it's little dark.

Alright that decides it, I am officially moving south !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to be kidding me....those trees are in full leaf !!!!!!!!!!!!

We just now had our first two consecutive days of reasonably nice temperature and needless to say our trees are still slumbering. I did see a bloom on a magnolia tree, but I think it was just the sacrificial bloom that is normally killed by our late March snowstorms!!!!

Those trees look BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I for one have no problem with smaller trees being used for competition as (A.) you tend to deal with what is available, and (B) smaller trees can be every bit as difficult as larger trees with the right set up. Actually larger trees can inspire more confidence than smaller trees due to the fact that limbs are much larger to run on.

Congrats to all, it looks like it was a great set up, a well run event, and chock full of excellent and safe climbing.
