count me in!
I have a family place in Marion with a couple of good sized oaks, tupelos, and pines. I'm pretty busy untill after N.E. Grows, but would be able to do something after that.

I've got a new Hank of Arbor master Blue Streak
coming today from Sherrill along with a new
eye & eye split tail (Bee line 10mm).

I like bluestreak alot, now I'm climbing on Firefly, its awesome!. Just got some icetail, and bailout to try as splittails. If the weather holds I'll try 'em today, stay tuned.
Has anyone tryed true blue
True blue is the newest rope I have bought it seems to ok .It is a little heavey though .It is also kind of slick probably needs some more break in time . I am thinking about buying another rope to use for accending only any suggestions . I have see alot of place advertiseing 7/16 24 strand .

I'm about in the middle of you MA guys that have posted - I'm in Plainville, just behind the Wrentham Outlets on 495.
I'm just learning to climb pretty much on my own. I'm doing ok by reading information in books and on the internet but I'm sure I would learn a lot more in person from someone more experienced. Maybe once the weather gets better (although so far, it really hasn't been bad) sometime this spring/summer we can somehow get together. I have mostly straight oaks here, not too tall but good for a beginner. I have made contact with Moss but we're both busy so we haven't managed to meet yet.

I live in Ohio, have always climbed solo (same as you couldn't find ay fellow climbers). Has been a bit since I did climb, changed jobs, got fat as all get out. Took a little while, but I finally got my priorities back in order, working on shedding some tonnage, and hope to be back aloft this spring! Maybe we will bump into one another somewhere along the way.

Yeah I would like to climb more
I climb usually once a week . I am not very fast but I learning . I hope to climb a lot more this year than last . I got some pretty good gear probably buy more this summer . Hey also there is going to be tree climbers competition at holden arboretum in June I plan going to to watch I think it would good place to learn some techniques.

SRT gives you more efficient 1:1 climbing. Still have to work since you are going straight up
A little practice and you can get a smooth motion. You can go as fast or slow as you want so you can avoid hear attack -moss

Thanks
Wed went well, hard not to, being paired with one of the best comp. climbers in the Northeast.
We have got to start making plans now for the spring climb, with a rain date etc. Probably best to have permission for a large group climb, tough to go ninja with a bunch of guys carrying gear!
