KARABINERS: Our search for the Perfect Connector

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Quest for the perfect Karabiner

Everyone has a favourite one, some people have a many. Different colours, different shapes, different applications, numerous manufacturers and some interesting tales to tell.

"Do you fancy sharing your views, facts and stories to help others in choosing their karabiners?"

Who knows, we may help to change the way our connectors are made or just help to educate others on how and why we use these simple, vital and well engineered pieces of climbing gear.

Treeclimber.ie will be giving away FREE shiny new karabiners for the most interesting and informative suggestions so share your knowledge...

FREE Tree-climbing Worshops for Arborists

"Climb Safer, Higher, Faster"

August 29th 2009

Due to the success of our Chainsaw awareness workshop we have decided to launch another series of FREE WORSHOPS, this time aimed at Arborists and Tree-climbers.

These events will be hosted by Tree Care Ireland and Treeclimber.ie in Carlow and will take place
on saturady mornings between 10am and 1pm, once per month.
Our vision is to get all of the professional tree-climbers in Ireland climbing safer and quicker. Techniques are progressing every day and it is important to keep your skills up to date in order to remain competitive and efficient.
We want to use these workshops as an open forum for discussion of techniques, equipment and technology. We also hope that it will also give climbers the opportunity to meet others in the industry and create some common ground between all of us.
There has been much talk of regulation in our industry and the best way to start is by promoting communication between everyone in the industry.
