Social Tree Climbers

Social Tree Climbers runs guided canopy climbing sessions based within River Hamble Country Park, near Bursledon. Using specialised arborist rope access techniques, climbers ascend directly into the canopies of mature woodland oaks rather than scaling artificial indoor climbing walls. The setting offers a physical, outdoor experience grounded in environmental appreciation, technical rope management, and mindful physical movement. Participants work with friction hitches, harnesses, and foot ascenders to move through the branches under the direct supervision of qualified tree climbing instructors. Sessions suit solo climbers, families, and group outings looking for a unique climbing experience in a natural woodland environment. Advanced booking via their official schedule is required for all sessions, with small group sizes maintained to ensure direct instructor support, safe line management, and minimal environmental impact on the trees.
