Beginners' (Introductory) Climb -- Fun on a Sunday! |
|
 The TCI Beginners' Climb is meant for the person with no tree climbing skills. We make it safe and easy! You will love the "Peter Pan" effect of floating on air while suspended from a rope! All equipment is supplied; all you need is loose clothing (T-shirt and long pants recommended), light shoes (closed-toe preferable), and some extra energy. In the Fall when temperatures start start to cool down, please dress in layers that can be shed as you start to warm up with exercise. Make sure to bring a camera--your family and friends will want to see pictures!
When you arrive, the instructors will have looped all the ropes over
branches and tied all the knots. We'll demonstrate how to move the
knots in sequence, how to tie a safety knot, and how to descend safely.
Then, all you have to do is slip into a harness and helmet and up
you'll go! Once aloft, you'll be able to get to those first few
branches and "hang out" with no trouble at all!
Do you think you won't be able to climb because you're out of shape?
Think again! There have been only a small number of first-time climbers
who couldn't get up into Nimrod and Dianna. Take a chance and do
something different!
TCI public beginners' climbs are held at the "TCI Founder's Grove" at 290 Arizona Avenue in Atlanta (look here for
directions) from 2 to 5 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month except December, January and February.
If it's raining or too cold, we will post a cancellation on our
homepage on the morning of a public climb day. No reservations
are required, but please call us if you have a group of 6 or more for a
Sunday afternoon. The cost is $15 per climber. Anyone over the age of five is welcome to participate.
