Hi, Jeff.

A few weeks ago someone suggested I start this topic section for climbers. I guess the word didn't get around yet.

Tell your buddies we're here and open for business!

Hi jeff! I noticed your posting on the tree-tech.com board on wanted to send out a shout to you and all of the other tree-climbing risk-takers like myself! I live in Maine and own and operate my own business there. I have about 10 years tree climbing experience and mostly work on evergreen trees up in Maine, but also work hardwoods and of course, those dead hazard trees. I am interested in reading about other peoples experiences and stories related to tree removal, so give me a shout @ islandgarden@acadia.net! Happy climbing and remember to back off when things "just don't feel right"!

I gotta admit it is so refreshing to hear an experienced climber say, "When it doesn't feel right" to back off and that its ok. I went to school for arboriculture and climbing and now in the real world, I'm finding everyone wants to see what your made of.
