WTCW Boston climbing

[moss]

I had the opportunity to climb a woods white oak today with two women from the women's tree climbing workshops run by Treebeach. They're really moving along improving their skills. Some photos from today, they made milestone high throws and climbs...

Nice. I'm such a fan of the WTCW. Glad to see that the ladies are getting some rec time in... I've done a few lately with my friend Liz, who is also a WTCW 'grad.' I'll post some pics asap.

I revised the thread header to the more accurate "WTCW" (nothing against WOTT) Say hi to Liz for me, we met at the Rutland climb with many of the WTCW climbers.

Looks like a nice day for climb. Do these women climb for a reason or just for fun?

Each of them are in horticulture/arboriculture fields. The fun part is unavoidable, both answers are correct.

How can there be too much fun? She just made some good throws, set her rope and made an excellent climb. She's serious about her climbing.

Both serious and fun. Why would it be nothing but? If your not having fun, why are you doing it??

These ladies are kicking butt and I'm looking forward to organizing our next rec. climb after the holidays.

Adkpk, maybe you should come out and give it a try.

Cheers

Ha ha ha, Melissa you don't remember but you happen to be the person who showed me how to ascent on a rope the for the first time. I am forever grateful for yours and Bears help that day.

We met at your house, I was with my sister. We climbed a white oak down an old road. Moss remembers, right moss?

I'm thinking of hosting a rec with a mission at my sisters house in central Mass to take down an ailing silver maple. Any takers.
