Connecticut Tree Climbing Competition

The Connecticut Tree Climbing Competition is an annual event sponsored by the CTPA.

CT Tree Climbing Competition - rescueEach year, 25-30 climbers, men and women, participate in a competition that showcases the skill, safety, insight and knowledge that is all a part of climbing trees professionally.  The event also showcases the camaraderie, spirit and overall sense of fun that is also a part of this unique group of skilled individuals.

The Five Qualifying Events in the CT Tree Climbing Competition are:

  1. Ascent Event-This is new to the competition and will replace the Footlock.
  2. Throw Line Accuracy – a timed event in which the competitor sets three different lines in specified parts of a tree.
  3. Belayed Speed Climb – a timed ‘free-climb’ (climber is belayed) 40′ to 60′ up a selected tree.
  4. Work Climb – five work stations are set within a given tree and competitors are scored as they move through the tree completing assigned tasks.
  5. Aerial Rescue – climbers are timed as they ‘rescue’ a dummy set in a tree.

This years (2020) Connecticut Tree Climbing Competition has been canceled.  We look forward to seeing you in 2021!!  Stay well.  Stay Safe.
