Any climbers in San Antonio, Tx? was created by shorty
Hi , anyone looking to take pity on an old, fat guy that has been bitten by the tree climbing bug?

I have Tree man's DVD and have watched it a lot. Practiced setting the rope and tying the knots for a couple of weeks while deciding what harness to buy. I have climbed a few times in my backyard since getting my harness from NT .

Now, I would like to learn from a person who can keep me from doing something that may put me in harms way.

So, if you're the kind that likes to share the craft, I would like to meet and learn.

Thanks,

Shorty

Shorty, I live in San Antonio and if I am not mistaken, if you look in a mirror you might see someone who looks like me. (Old, fat guy LOL) I have been interested in tree climbing ever since I found this site about a year ago. I don't have any equipment, but I would love to accompany you or a group to see if I really want to get into it. I would love to see your equipment and you in action. If you are gonna do a climb any time in the future would you do me the favor of emailing me or PM me.

Can you contact the other 2 guys (Shorty, mctoler,) in San Antonio-New Braunfels Area and locate some nice trees and I join you guys one of these weekends now that it is cooler? I have extra ropes and an extra medium size harness and have been doing it for five years but will love to meet some people nearby with new trees. I am tired of climbing my own Trees most of the time or having to go to another state(Oregon, Georgia, MS, Nebraska or Colorado) etc just to climb with my friends!B)
P.S. I am in Austin - Have Gear, Will Travel!

I am in Austin and I will be willing to get together one of these weekends at your place if you send me more details. I have extra gear! Or give me a call at 512- 239-4077 work next week and we talk about more details. If the other two climbers in San Antonio and New Braunfels will join us that would be nice too!:lol:

Convenient to find y'all here.

I'm new to the \"Sport\" of tree climbing, in truth a complete novice. But I've been recreationaly tree climbing longer than I can remember and it could be argued that I'm quite good at it. In fact, I've earned myself the nickname \"monkeyboy\" from my friends. Even though I've never used much safety equipment, I've maintained a perfect safety record.

I'm a 22 year old Male going to Texas State University in San Marcos. I do not have any gear, but I do have a fair bit of climbing knowledge (worked as a climbing instructor at a Boy Scout camp over the summer). I am very interested in getting together, though not sure of the best \"legal\" places in the area. Though I can say that TxState campus has some mighty nice trees that we would likely not get run out of.

Please keep me informed at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I look forward to meeting with y'all in the coming months. Till then...
