RIVERSIDE OUTFITTERS and Richmond ASR joined up to introduce the adventure world (at least in the east) to the sport of recreational tree climbing. A number of experienced climbers took their turn at clipping in ascending the rope, walking a limb to reach the control (a small horn to honk) then rapel back down to the relative safety of the ground.
All participants agreed that with the physical demands and the "fear-factor", a fixed ropes course on trees such as the "recreational tree climbing" rigs that RO set up, definitely has a place in adventure racing. The participants from northern Virginia agreed that a clinic in that area would be well recieved and so, we will be looking at developing and planning a NOVA adventure in the trees.
Thanks to all who participated and especially to Matt Perry from Riverside Outfitters for sharing his passion of climbing trees with us AR types.
