It didn't much look like you and Lou were training for it up in the tree.

I'm vexed at my timing...I spend what, half the year in Oz and I MISS the ITCC because I'm poncing with tiddler trees in Bermuda!!! :what: I have yet to see any kind of climbing competition...one of these days

Bermy, I have been to two chapter TCCs and three local ones (primers to the chapter one), good fun as a viewer and as a volunteer. The camaraderie of competitors is pretty cool as well, not sure if thats local or not, I have a feeling its not just local.

 

[Bermy]

When I get back to Oz, I'm going to see what's going on around the state, there is nothing in Bermuda, not unless I were to organize something myself...maybe next spring...hmmm.

Congrats to the winners!

Bermy, put that on your bucket list.

I wonder if the guy with the dreads, the one that invented the expensive climbing saddle climbed? What is his name? I can't think of it. He is a part of treemaginneers.

 

[Widow Shooter]

that would be Bernd" Beddes" Strasser, I'm sure he was there, but was well out of the running, along with Mark C, and some other faves.

I watched the western chapter TCC a few years back and that's what I noticed also Paul. One guy was having trouble with his pulley or something and the rest of them all jumped up and started helping him.

 

[Paul B]

Cool. Second to last chapter competition up here we had someone stuck at the US/Canada border after his ride got refused entry, 2 guys drove the 2 or 3 hours south in the middle of the night and got him then gave him a ride up to the comp, if I remember correct, they didnt even know the guy.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wish that good attitude could be extrapolated to all of society.

 

[Burnham]

Seems alive and well here in the THouse, anyway...maybe it's something to do with the demands of treework.

 

[treesandsurf]

Definitely a great group here!

Every comp I'v been to in the UK has had an excellent spirit of camardarie (if thats how you spell it) and I imagine that they are the same the world over.

I'v been involved with a fair few over the last 5-6 years, both competing, judging/tech ing and organising.
