Description:
Climbers will perform five different preliminary events. Each event tests a competitor's ability to quickly,
professionally, and safely maneuver in a tree while performing work-related tree-care tasks. Tree
climbing competitions are designed to simulate working conditions of those arborists who work in the
field. Utilizing the highest level of professional skills and safety, the events provide a competitive
learning environment for those working in the industry.
The five climbers who score the highest during the preliminary competition will compete in the Masters’
Challenge. We will be “crowning” both a men’s and women’s champion on Sunday (yes, on Father’s
Day). They will earn the honor of representing the Western Chapter at the International Tree Climbing
Championships (ITCC)
