TCI Membership
TCI
is an organization for people who love trees and getting up into them.
Members are children and adults, male and female, from all
walks of life. Some of the members climb as professionals, but the majority
are people who climb just for the sheer pleasure of it. Some join to meet and climb with
other climbers. Some join to learn or be challenged by new techniques.
Finally, some members don't climb themselves, but they enjoy reading about
and supporting an activity close to their hearts.
