Climbing a giant redwood in Eugene, OR? Isn't that a bit north?

Thanks for posting.

There are some very big trees around Eugene. I have not seen the trees in person, but the website claims 250-300' foot tall trees.

I'm waiting to hear from a friend if he got a removal job down there to take out a redwood that is about 9' DBH. If he gets the job I'll do the climbing for him.

Will 150' of xtc make it to the first limb of a Redwood? ...cheap bastads

Just curious:

How many of you would feel "bettered" or "I hit the big one" etc. with winning that 'sleep - over?'

Which website?

Any chance it's this Eugene area company:

Oregon's champion giant sequoia is under 200 feet.

Wonder what size of coast redwoods there might be mentioned in the contest. If the contest trees are the ones at that site, bet its the Douglas fir trees. We've got one fir near Coos County that's 99.4 meters high. If Eugene has 300 footers, those would be cool.
