Are you Arb enough ? 3ATC Climbing Comp 10th 11th June

[BigPinus]

I would like to sign up for the Saturday so I'll call tomorrow.

 

Do you start from the top like normal work climbs or is it from the bottom and set your line?

 

Cheers.

Novice and Expert climbers both get to start from the top of the tree using our pre located anchor point. Premier climbers have to instal their own line from the ground before they access the tree they also need to do a visual and verbal tree and site safety breif before they start their climb it's worth looking at the score sheets when you arrive to see how they work and how you can reduce your climb time by picking up time bonuses as you work around the canopy. You will need all the bonuses to stand a chance of winning. Poor climbing technique will get you time penalties that will be added to your climb time, you don't want these ! So again well worth seeing how these occur.

 

I'm off to help get the site ready so good luck hope to see some of you there. Elaine will be able to take advance bookings right up to Thursday night and during the show if we have space so still time to book your climb at the moment.

 

We have some fantastic prizes this year a husky saw for the winner in premier a tree austria 3 harness for the expert level and some imori climbing rope for the novice winners. Prizes to third place for eac category and the goody bags alone are worth your entry fee as they include a £25 stein throwline cube along with other goodies.

Glad you enjoyed it Ben be nice to hear what some of the other competitors thought so we can try and get it right for you all ?

 

Were the rules understandable?

Did you get enough information to understand what you needed to do?

Was there enough in everyones goody bags to make it worth the entry fee?

Would you come again?

Would you recommend it to other climbers?

 

All this information and more will help us try to work towards running a better tree climbing event for you all. If you don't want to say anything on the public section feel free to PM me.
