    For those of you who have never seen these MAGNIFICENT ethereal trees ......DO IT!!!!
    It is a humbling experience to be in their midst it literally took my breath away the first time I laid eyes on them.
    I can't imagine how it felt to climb one.

    I always slam a few redbull's before climbing... nothing like a jittery sugar and caffeine buzz to get me in touch with the old growth red wood forest.

Otherwise, it's still nice to have all these events sponsored by redbull, mountain dew, etc.. You can watch and just ignore the advertising for the most part. The people dumb enough to fall for the marketing are probably already drinking that trash anyways.

    @tripmind I love climbing trees, and when I saw the link to this I immediately felt inspired to go and attempt to 'free climb' a redwood - you are correct about that.
    However, seeing Chris Sharma take numerous falls and describe it as 'super hard climbing' tells me my climbing level is nowhere near good enough for this.
    I won't be attempting this, even though I want to.

    looks great. and brings back memories. used to cut laps around the trunk of a large swamp gum growing in the paddock behind my parents house as training as a kid over 25 years ago in victoria, Australia. not tall, but fatter and more variety. That tree had the works- a 15 move v6 slab to a mantle into a fork between two big branches, and an overhanging crack-system where it had rotted out one side, merging up into a v5 power sequence. And a circuit. Its still there, but I haven't touched it in a while.

    Coastal redwoods are not generally watered by rain. Fog rolls in from the sea, condenses and drips to their roots. It is no surprise that these trees would not be stressed by drought. I'm curious what their hypothesis is, and the data that turns up later in the season

      +Giancarlo Zucca On shorter trees, you throw the rope up with a thin, slick line and a small weight. Then, you use the small line to pull up your climbing rope. On taller trees, people use a bow and arrow with a line or fishing line attached, or a slingshot shooting a fishing weight attached to fishing line. Either way, once you have the throw line up, you pull up the climbing rope.
