Hands-on climbing training is designed to provide first-time and experienced climbers with the necessary skills to safely access, move about, work in and descend from conifer and hardwood trees. A minimum of three full days of intensive training and practice provide climbers the opportunity to observe, and perform a variety of climbing techniques needed to perform their intended program of work. Tools and equipment necessary for each task are also thoroughly explained and explored. Whether it is cone collection, nest box installation, canopy research or anything in between, our master climber/instructors have the experience and skills, and are willing and able to teach you what you need to know. By the end of the training session, all climbers must be able to demonstrate proficiency in basic minimum climbing techniques, knot tying and aerial rescue in order to obtain certification. Additional methods specific to your climbing needs also require demonstrated proficiency prior to receiving certification in each respective area. Unless terminated sooner, certification is valid for a period of 3 years. [See Section 18 of FSH 6709.12 for levels of certification]. Customized training sessions, tailored exclusively to your particular needs, and at your location, are also possible.
