New Project Up Soon

Hi everyone, I'm sorry to say there are no scheduled climbs for the foreseeable future. I haven't found/made time to climb in way to long, but I'd still love to support those interested in climbing. I am working on a way to help release some of the materials and knowledge I've gathered over the years, as I'd love to give back to the community - especially after ignoring this site for so long. 

Former students, video resources can be found here.

For my former personal channel, see here. If you are new to tree climbing, please note that my personal channel contains (a few) advanced topics with little context or instruction. I cannot stress highly enough that you should seek proper instruction before attempting some of the sketchier things described there. I cannot be held accountable for this information, but present it here for curious individuals. 

I am working on recovering access to these YouTube accounts, and perhaps adding additional rope-knowledge. I have just regained access to this website, and I am sorry for any students who sought out instruction from me but received no response. Once I get email restored, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. I still love teaching and the spark of a student mastering a new skill so stay tuned and I'll work on getting out some content. 

As a show of good faith, here's a bit on the Crane Maneuver, excellent for getting out of jam or freeing stuck gear. A higher point is used to lift the stuck gear free.

Climb light, and climb safe.

Warmly,
Sam
