Yo Baker!

Thank you so much for posting this. What an awesome little film. It really gives a good feel for SRT climbing, and a great perspective on some truly big trees. Very inspiring. The climbers attitudes are great, and hearing them say flat out that their approach is leave no trace is great.

Can anybody ID the SRT technique being used. Is it the tree frog system?

A great find!

Eric

I thought the LNT coment was great too. As an environmental educator and LNT instructor, it means a lot to me to hear that others are concerned about our planet's oldest citizens
