 You will learn all the skills you need to climb large trees safely using the double rope technique (DRT) also recognized as  MRS ( moving rope system). In this course, we present you with detailed information about selecting a good climbing tree and assessing its condition.  You will learn climbing techniques and how to set up the DdRT climbing system, you will be tying each knot many times in order to put it into " motor muscle memory".  You'll also learn the rules for personal safety.  Expect to be climbing on your own at the end of Level 1.

Level 2 focuses on the basics with emphasis on climbing higher by transferring your climbing system up and down throughout the canopy and moving from tree to tree.  During  this course, you will be evaluated and be expected to complete  a written test.  Passing both the written and climbing evaluation, shows that you are ready to go out and climb on your own. Upon successful graduation, students will receive a Tree Climbing Canada BTCC completion certificate.
