Charlie,

It isn't nearly as scary as Icabod makes it sound. I've been to the Pee Tree and it's only a couple of hundred yards off of a dirt road. As Cam says, the 1st pitch is a long one, but there are lots of other accessible trees in the immediate area. If you are comfortable setting up our own climb from start to finish, I don't see why you wouldn't have a great time. The "experience" required is a pretty low threshold.

Camping near the site is primitive - no facilities of any kind, but there may be other options in the area.

Regards,
-Knothead

Thanks Tengu and Knothead. Ya'lls words of invitation and encouragement are greatly appreciated and inspiring.
I'm supposed to meet soon with Joe "Wild Bill" Maher for some training and if I survive(haha-just kidding), maybe could look forward to the other events depending on time and money.
Hope to meet ya'll one day.

Charlie, Peter is right. There are PLENTY of other trees in the area. I only mean that we aren't climbing in your park or backyard. Come on if you want, bring your tent, and all your gear.
