TCI Beginners' Climbs
Come Climb with Us!
Try it for yourself! TCI Beginners Climbs are a great way for anyone to experience tree climbing. Whether you're a 5 year old child or an 85 year old "kid at heart," you can do this if you're in good health.
Our beginners' climbs are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month in Blackburn Park, unless the weather keeps us away. During the summer, it's usually cooler underneath our tree (Sueño, the beautiful willow oak in our video), and the breeze is delightful for a sojourn into her branches. Don't let the heat stop you -- come on out and join us!
2 - 5 p.m., only $20 per climber. No reservations necessary, but please call ahead if you want to bring a group of 6 or more.

TCI has a fabulous new home! The “TCI Training Center and Hostel” is a first-of-its-kind facility. Here students can stay overnight while they take advanced tree climbing classes in the very big and beautiful trees there, including "Echo" (a 53 inch diameter red oak, she matches the size of our first teaching tree, "Nimrod") and several other 90+ feet oaks and tulip poplars. The TCI Hostel has large teaching spaces indoors and outside where
sessions can be taught in the
event of rain. There are lots of routes to traverse through our small forest, and at night our tall trees offer lovely views of Atlanta's skyline. New adventures await those who haven't had an opportunity for these types of challenges!
The TCI Hostel, a small and casual but fully furnished house, offers all the comforts of home. No more reason to be alone and bored at night in a stuffy motel room. Students can sleep inside; or with know-how, set up a hammock to sleep peacefully in the treetops out back. No more reason to eat all
your meals in restaurants, either! If you accept our invitation to stay, we have everything you need at a very affordable price.

New Courses, Too!
TCI now offers an expanded teaching program which includes courses for beginners with limited experience and intermediate-level climbers:
our "BTCC Refresher" and “Beyond the Basics” classes; and for any tree climber at all, our “Tree Climbing Gear and Gizmos” course. We also design customized classes for novice or experienced climbers who want to advance their capabilities in the trees or have specific skills they want to master.
All these opportunities to learn, in a setting which is absolutely perfect for training and relaxation, make TCI's Training Center and Hostel a great place to come and stay for a while!

Welcome to TCI--the world's first organization for recreational tree climbers |
|
 Father and daughter in tree together
Tree climbing is not just for children. It's for people of all ages who are young at heart and ready for the enjoyment trees can provide. Why don't you explore our website and learn more about it? Better yet, come experience the adventure with us!
TCI was started by Peter "Treeman" Jenkins, a retired rock and mountain
climber-turned tree surgeon (now an ISA-Certified Arborist). Peter found that the equipment used in rock climbing did not always fit the needs of
climbing something alive and fragile as a tree, and many of the rock
climbers' techniques were downright dangerous in the treetops! It
became clear to Peter that an organization was needed which could bring
together people who love tree climbing, as well as train them in the
techniques necessary to ensure that they climb safely and responsibly.
In 1983, he founded Tree Climbers International and opened the world's
first tree climbing school in Atlanta.

TCI's website brings you lots of helpful information about all things related to recreational tree climbing. Our photo gallery will show you what tree climbing is all about, and
our popular TCI Forums will give you a good sense of the sharing of knowledge and ideas which is so characteristic of the tree climbing community. A couple of unique online tools for climbers are also on these pages:
- Our “Gear Rater” guides climbers (both recreational and professional) through the array of equipment available to them; and
- Our “Climber Finder” gives TCI members access to each other through geographic maps, listings, and secure email capability.
Combined, these features offer climbers new ways to easily connect with each other and to share what they know among themselves and
others.
Please come back often! We update our site regularly with information and announcements. Do you have ideas or suggestions? We want to hear about
them; please
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
! As always, we look forward to your
participation and to meeting you in the treetops!
