Tree climbing competitions rely on a lot of behind-the-scenes effort. Organisers and volunteers spend their time checking gear, transporting equipment, setting up, and running the events that bring our arborist community together.

Treetools is happy to provide climbing gear for the NZ Arb South Island Gear Trailer and the upcoming South Island Regional TCC in Dunedin. We hope this makes things a bit easier for the volunteers who make these events happen.

Our contribution may be small, but we want to give a big thank you to everyone who puts in the hours, often unnoticed, even on event day

Yale climbing lines, in particular Blue Moon, Arrow Frog, and Prism, are very popular with NZ tree climbers. Yale rigging lines, such as Double Esterlon, have an equally loyal following. The Treetools splicing department runs at full capacity when a Yale shipment arrives. Thanks, Yale Cordage, for your support.

There are some famous tree climbing/arborist faces (including Jesse Coleman and James Kilpatrick) in this official trailer for a 7-part documentary series due for full release later this year. History can be quickly forgotten if it is not recorded. Well done Visual.Climber - your work is appreciated.
