This blog is for those of us with even a little bit of adventure in our souls. It started when some friends and I formed an adventure club so we would try something fun, new, interesting, or challenging every few months—the things we had always wanted to try but never had the nerve or the time to attempt. I hope the ideas posted here will inspire you and your friends to take a break from routine and have an adventure! As Helen Keller said, "Life is either a great adventure or nothing.”

Extreme Tree Climbing
Remember being a kid and climbing that big tree in the backyard and feeling like queen of the world because you could see into your neighbor's yard? Well, these days the trees are bigger, the climbing is higher and the views are MUCH better. Happily there are also ropes, safety harnesses, helmets and guides. TreeHugger has an article about extreme tree climbing and some links to get you and your adventurous friends headed to the woods.
Three sites mentioned in the article:
Tree Climbers International
Treetop Trekking in Ontario

People who climb trees and work on them are normally called arborists. Whenever you are climbing a tree or a pole you must always be careful. One small mistake can cause you serious injury. You must have a belt or lanyards that can provide you support if you slip or fall. http://tree-climbing-spikes.info
Thanks Merlin.
