Description:
Join the PNW-ISA for a tree climbing workshop for women, taught by women.
This will be our second women’s tree climbing workshop and it is designed for women who have never climbed trees before as well as those who have prior experience and want to improve their ability.
Come learn a new skill or improve your foundation in a safe and positive environment. This two and a half-day event was specifically created for women by women climbers, who have competed in tree climbing championships and are working in the tree care industry.
PNW-ISA has teamed up with the Women’s Tree Climbing Workshop to offer a fun, safe space to learn. No worries about looking silly or not being safe. This workshop is open to all women (18+), skills and ability levels. Bring your tree climbing equipment (if you have any) and we’ll help you determine what’s safe to use for tree climbing. Don’t have equipment? We’ve got you covered. Taught by International Tree Climbing Championship competitors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie, with over 40 years of collective climbing experience, you know you’re in good hands. In addition to the core teachers there will be a group of experienced champion women climbers on hand for mentoring and moral support.
You will learn about a multitude of styles in climbing equipment and techniques. Come network with women and female arborists from all over the Chapter! You will leave from this climbing experience with new skills, wonderful memories, new friends, and a sense of personal accomplishment. This workshop is limited to 30 participants. We will take a waitlist.
