Tree Climbers International

Tree Climbers International (TCI) in Atlanta pioneered the sport of recreational tree climbing, providing a structured and environmentally conscious way to ascend the forest canopy. Operating out of designated outdoor groves featuring mature hardwood trees, TCI offers guided climbs and comprehensive instruction using arborist-grade ropes, saddles, and safety harnesses. Climbers learn footlock techniques, friction hitch management, and canopy navigation directly from experienced instructors. The organization focuses on low-impact climbing methods that protect tree bark while delivering a challenging physical workout. Programs accommodate newcomers looking for an introductory tree climb as well as experienced climbers training for multi-pitch canopy ascents. Booking is handled in advance for small group clinics, certification workshops, and private group events, ensuring hands-on supervision and an organized climbing experience in a natural woodland environment.
