I have been climbing gearless recreationally for a while however after taking the entry level tree workers course with the Jenkins’s, it’s as if a veil over my eyes has been lifted. Not only is rope climbing more liberating, versatile, and safe, but also spending the better part of a week climbing in Patty and Peter’s course enlightened me to this whole world of climbers as well.
I am very excited to both climb, and to dive into the tree climbing world to become a part of it. Once my gear comes in I will be out and about the greater New York City area climbing if anyone would like a climbing buddy. Eventually I think I’ll do some trips up the Hudson valley do some climbing up in New England, and set off on a path swinging through the rest of the world too so everyone everywhere is a useful resource in my eyes. I hope in learning from all of you and gaining experience I can return the favor! For now, I’m always happy to climb with whoever’s in the area.
Your great attitude is coming through, welcome to the trees! I climb with Connecticut climbers a hop, skip, and a jump from NYC on a regular basis, feel free to PM and get some contact info squared away.
