Permission

Permission

Permission to climb can make or break a climbing day. It’s pretty unnerving to get up into a fine looking tree only to see a police car pull up below you. You’ll probably be questioned about what you are doing and asked to come down. Don’t take on climbs where you obviously need permission (on private land, for example), and don’t climb in areas which are designated “no-climb” zones such as the national parks in the United States.

Even the trees at the TCI Clubhouse are off limits sometimes! Pictures by Peter and Patty Jenkins
