I drop a line for the first time on this board. My daughter, Yume, 7 years old, had her first fanrastic experience of TC the week before last. Please have a glance if you have a time.

Takeshi,

Hello my friend! It is good to see so many people enjoying our sport. That link can be an advertisement for New Tribe and that is great. I especially love the fourth picture down. It reminds me of the picture that got me hooked; the picture at the TCI website of the kids in Nimrod. I saw that and knew I needed to get involved with Treeclimbing.

Since I took my IBC I refound my love for trees. I think that my wife and I are getting harnesses and ropes for my two daughters. They have been up in my harness to a very limited height, so I am anxious to get the right equipment for them. I am glad that treeclimbing is so popular in Japan as it gives us yet another bridge for our cultures.

Have a great day! and be well!!!!

Thank you for your reply.
I'd like to see the photos which your daughters are climbing.
TC of your family is true bonds of LOVE.

Have a nice TC!

What wonderfull pictures!

Where do you climb? There seems to be a fair amount of people in the trees. Perhaps a nice little party when you reach the canopy?
