Tree Climbers International must be one of those new extreme sport organizations.
Actually, it was founded in 1983 by Peter “Treeman” Jenkins, a retired rock and mountain climber-turned tree surgeon. They’ve invented specialized equipment.
TCI is a worldwide organization of people who love to climb trees. We do this safely and with utmost care for the trees we climb. We want the sport of “rope and harness” tree climbing available so that everyone can experience the joy and wonder of seeing the world from the heights of the treetops!
Tree climbing is no longer just for children. It’s for people of all ages who are young at heart and ready for the pleasure trees can provide. Why don’t you explore our website and learn more about it? Better yet, come experience the adventure with us!
Gymnasts still remember vividly the day we climbed trees in downtown Christchurch, New Zealand. Me — a foreigner — did not realize that tree climbing was illegal until the parents came to pick up the girls. Oops.
