Anybody else going to this? It's only about 4 hours from home for me, and I've heard it's pretty fun to watch.

International Tree Climbing Championship

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the best in the world compete head to head for the _title_ of World Champion.

It is definitely worth going to if you can make it.


I'll be there!

TCI will be running the Kids Climb again here like the two previous years. Make sure you come say hello. We will be in two trees again too. It is very busy with no let ups as far as climbers are concerned.

Cool! I look forward to meeting you Peter.

The 2006 ITCC is going be great!
You guys are gonna have a blast. Man I wish I could fit it in

Actually, If I could do anything I want. . .
I would get the entire Marquand Park climb crew and fly all five of us out there to meet ya’s! Now that would be a party. <sigh>
So how does that saying go ? ? ?
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

I'd love to go to the ITCC but will be focusing my resources on making it to the Recreational Tree Climbing Rendezvous '06 in October. EJ, please tell me you're going to be there! We need to represent the northeast, yes?
