2010 Victorian Tree Climbing Championship

Joe — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:17:04 +0000

Registration is now open for the 2010 Victorian Tree Climbing Championship, to be held in Warragul across the weekend of the 24th and 25th of October.

Entry is available across four grades: Student Grade is for both male and female climbers who have not competed before and are currently enrolled in an arboricultural training course; female competitors are asked to enrol in the Women’s Grade; and the majority of male climbers will be taking part in the Men’s Open Grade. Only climbers with previous competition experience will be able to compete in the Men’s Masters Grade, which has a limited number of places available. Qualification for this grade will be based primarily on ranking in previous VTCCs, then on ranking in other ISA-format competitions.

International and interstate climbers are very welcome to take part, and although only Victorian climbers will be eligible to take part in the Master’s Challenge, out-of-state competitors will in all other respects compete on a level footing with local climbers: you will be able to win events and take home prizes!
