Testimonials
"About 2 years ago I bought the TCI basics DVD and from that video learned how to safely climb trees. I bought 2 sets of the TCI recommended climbing kits from WesSpur and several different sizes of New Tribe's belts (I have 10 kids). We have so enjoyed this activity and normally climb in the Sam Houston National Forest after canoeing up the West Fork of the San Jacinto River. Thank you for such an excellent product.
Because of you our family can have lots of clean clean fun for years to come. I also hosted a father-daughter campout and I let everyone climb that wanted to (under my constant supervision). I diligently follow all the safety checks and always do a "BACK" check. Thanks again....what a great hobby."

Tree Climbers International® (TCI®) is a worldwide organization of people who love to climb trees. We do this safely and with utmost care for the trees we climb.

Try it for yourself! TCI Beginners Climbs are a great way for anyone to experience tree climbing. Whether you're a 5 year old child or an 85 year old "kid at heart," you can do this if you're in good health. TCI routinely hosts these events on the first and third Sundays each month except during Atlanta's winter, when it's usually too cold to have any fun. Our beginners' climbs are held from 2-5 p.m. in Blackburn Park (3530 Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. at Johnson-Ferry, Atlanta, 30319, maps).
TCI also offers onsite and online courses for people who want to take tree climbing to the next level, whether you want to climb for fun or employment, or you want to teach others. Check out all our class information, and get in touch!

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
