Rules
Always stay on rope
The most important rule for tree climbers is: Always stay "on rope." Unforeseen circumstances, like sudden high winds or even an attack from a protective wildlife parent, make it imperative that you always be connected to your rope. Don't be the one who is proven wrong by thinking "it won't happen to me."
 
Inspect the tree before you climb

It's always best to do a good inspection of any tree you want to climb. Our article, "A Climber's Guide to Tree Inspection," is an excellent resource for how to accomplish a thorough evaluation.

Obviously, if the tree has obvious danger signs, don't climb it. Also, do not climb a tree that shows any signs of wear or weakness. Do that tree a favor. Get some help so you can restore it to health. Ask a certified arborist for suggestions and/or assistance.

 
Never climb near power lines
If you or your rope touches a live power line, you can get electrocuted! Do a visual area-wide survey to make sure there are no power lines near your climbing tree.
 
Get training from a qualified instructor
Climbing by trial and error is risky business. One mistake can radically change or end a life. Take a tree climbing course from a qualified instructor. Then use TCI's online Forum to hook up with experienced climbers who can answer your questions and help you along. It's best for beginning climbers to go out with a buddy who has solid training and experience.
