sounds cool, but how do you train some one to climb a tree...i thought you were kind of born knowing how to do that.

 

it's for really big trees, with no branches within reach.. i guess we should be more descriptive.

 

that sounds like it'd be really hard...but fun.

 

nah, it's not hard but a bit tricky. hence the workshop..

 

well cool, good luck with it.

 

yarr, it's gonna be fun.
