Nice one Matt.

 

Should be a manditory part of the curriculum.

 

 

 

Get kids in or around trees = a better future for both

But David, the poor, delicate, little flowers might be horribly maimed by a falling leaf or some similar hazard!

If the smile on the kid in the last shot was any bigger, the top of his head would fall off:thumbup1:

Hey mate great pics its a really good activity for kids and so much more accesible than indoor climbing walls etc. Just out of curiosity, how were you getting them up the tree? I take my daughter who is 8 (looks about the same as your nephews) and I'm struggling to come up with a good climbing system for her so she can actually pull herself up the tree. We use a gri - gri at the bottom and I belay her, but what I really want is to be able to have her climbing with me. Anyone else have any ideas about a child friendly climbing system?

Could you use a normal prussik (Obviously the right length) but with a little micro pulley tied to a micro prussik to lift it? Seems to work well for little people!!

Where did you get the harnesses from? I'm just looking into getting some kit for my lad. He's 9.
