Basic course in treeclimbing

2 days. Approximately. 4-5 pers. per. instructor.

The course offers you a chance to make the childhood dream of climbing to the very top of the highest trees come true.

The course will take you through the basic climbing techniques.
The course will thus enable you to ascend and descend tress in a safe manner which will neither render damage to the trees or to you. Ie. we'll go through;
- free- and artificial climbing techniques
- different belay-techniques and advantages/disadvantages
- different abseil-techniques and advantages/disadvantages
- strength-specifications and functional characteristics of the tools and the equipment involved
- communication-procedures
- producing safe belaystations
- emergency-procedures
- fall-factor, importance and practical implementation

Apart from enabling you to climb safely alone or with an equably educated climber, the course is also a prerequisite to the CAL® (Climbing Activity Leader®)-educationand to the belonging authorization.

The main purpose of the course is to enable you to climb safely on your own or with an equably experienced and educated climber.

If you'd like an authorization, that enbles you to arrange climbing-activities (toprope-climbing and abseiling) for others, you'll also need to go through the education as Professional Authorized Climbing-Activity-Leader® (CAL® )).

Advanced course in treeclimbing

2 days. Approximately. 4-5 pers. per. instructor.

On this course we move up and live in the trees.

We climb up into the trees in different ways as well as well as from one tree to another.

Furthermore we prepare and cook our hot meals, eat, live and sleep in the top of the trees, using hammocks, which we hang in or between the trees.

In that way we discover a world of silence, serenity and a wiew, which otherwise is a itherwise a unique bird-privilege.

During this course, you'll learn a number of techniques, which will enable you to move safely up into almost any tree, live there for the time you chose and thus open up entirely new worlds of both contemplation and adventurous experiences.

- Make your next trip to the woods on expedition to the tops of the trees, where no one can see you and experience the unique view from the top oth highest trees, when you wake up in the morning.

playful life

Treeclimbing offer you a lifetime of outdoor experiences and lasting memories.
Furthermore treeclimbing can be enjoyed almost all over the world.

Our methods, the height of the trees and the views we get up there may vary, but the joy that we get out of it is probably of the same kind.

Even though many might consider treeclimbing a childish passtime, there are soulmates out there...
