The object of this event is to climb a tree/pole to a predetermined height (50 feet for men/30 feet for women). The race is one way and climbers must make a controlled descent. Some climbers make the 50 foot mark in less than 9 seconds! Contestants wear climbing spikes, waist belt and lifeline. For those new to the sport, team members will provide a top rope to assure that you will not fall while you learn.
