JG, Thanks for the photos.

Thanks for getting things rolling Shari.

I've gathered some of my photos and comments for your enjoyment. Thanks to all, what a great group of people! And special thanks to Harv for making it happen. My only regret is that we had to go home, I'm missing you all already. Take care and have great climbs in the coming months.

Here are a few photos from some of the climbs and activities at the Rendezvous:

I got back to L.A. Tuesday afternoon. What a comedown—I felt like I'd been kicked in the brain.

I too want to thank everyone for a wonderful week. One of the best weeks of my life, actually, and I'm still trying to process it all. In the meantime, keep the photos coming!

Moss,
Those pics are great. Thanks to you for taking them, and to everyone for being there and making the 'vous as special as it was.

I hear you Greg on all counts. I thought I was going to die yesterday, well... I exaggerate but it was a tough landing. Great to meet you in tree time and looking forward to the next.

Yeah, great time climbing Monday morning. And thanks again for rescuing my line. Say, I have a friend from Reed who lives in Shelburne Falls, and I'm due for a trip out there in the next year or so—maybe we could go climbing in the Berkshires. That wouldn't suck.

Thanks so much to all for a great weekend. The best part was meeting everyone and climbing with a great group of people.

We took a drive up to Rocky Mtns Natl Park after the Rendezvous (thanks for the suggestion Tom!). You can't climb trees above 12,000 feet - there are none!

I will post a link to pictures Barbara took tomorrow.

Can't wait 'til next year!

Hi all,
Well another amazing Rendezvous--thank you Harv so
much. Once again, as I reported from last year, it is
truly a privilege to climb with such experienced
climbers and to be among all of you who show such
respect for the trees. Without you I would have never
made it to the treetops. I look forward to seeing the
pictures of all the legendaries lined up on the
balcony of the Calwood lodge.
My very last climb on Monday was to the very treetop
of a Ponderosa pine with my arms toward the sky. That was my first experience to be above a tree like that--and WOW, what a way to end it for me.
The blindfold climb this year made me
realize that "I 'SEE' better being blindfolded"!!! When one experiences ones senses at a level never experienced before, there are no words to this experience--truly no words. Only nature understands that experience and is saying to us "What's the big deal it was there all along!!!"
I will be late in getting my pictures out as I am
headed to my Wilderness Awareness School tomorrow. My
knees are shaking as I head out but I am ready. This
rendezvous week was a great send-off for me. Thank you,
thank you, Carolyn

Thanks for the tree time Carolyn, and enjoy your 10 months.

we all want to hear about that when you can update us


See you in Georgia in 2008 - I have a Beech JUST FOR YOU, and a place to stay for extra time should you desire to do so.

Here are some low-res photos from the rendezvous. I'll put the high-res versions on the CD. In the meantime, if you want a high-res shot emailed to you, just let me know. I'll probably email some to you anyway if I think you'll want them.

Thanks for posting those Cliff, Barbara did very well with her new camera.

I've climbed twice since the Rendezvous, trying to keep the spirit going, facilitated 3 people today. One was a young guy who just walked up to the tree and said "I'm a tree climber". He invented his own rope technique, home grown SRT. I got him into an NT saddle and hooked him up DRT and off he went to the top of his TIP. He was psyched, another climber passionate about being in trees, another great day.

Lots of great “07” photos, Thank You!
I’ve been following the Rendezvous action via this forum.
The massive amount of photos that were taken and are shared here is appreciated.
The exchange of knoledge and technique must have been wonderful.
Good to see the TCI forum perking up again now that you’er all back.

Man, it must have been great!
