Tree-Climbing: Introduction

Then, when someone recalls, tree-climbing, in our minds, tree climbing is:


  • a childhood memories, where we climbed anywhere without fear.
  • When we climbed back there, we found new perspectives when we are on top of tree.



Nowadays, tree-climbing is one of recreational outdoor activities, which is suitable for everyone, with proper session and safety. Tree-climbing consists climbing & walking (branching) using proper safety equipment such as rope,saddle, helmet etc.



HISTORY OF TREE-CLIMBING
