Barefoot Tree Climbing in Minnesota. No ropes, no equipment.

Thanks to Iron & Wine for the song, "Such Great Height." Download it at ITunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/such-great-heights/id20922902?i=20922900

  • awesome and inspiring. I know you guys are obvious athletes but i was wondering how you can train to scale vertically. Also is it easier to begin with thinner diameter trucks? Did you start with a rope between your legs?Thanks!!

  • vertical climbing isn't as tricky as it might seem. It's all about sending your weight IN to the tree, rather than DOWN, which will make your feet slip. For me, this means I usually take a position where I get my feet almost even with my pelvis (this can be the "butterfly" position where your legs are fully bent at the knee. Or it can be a straight-kneed position.

    Hope that helps. I recommend doing some training on thin, sloped trees and on playground poles.

    Good luck. have fun
