ISA St. Louis rec climb

[treesandsurf]

A group of some pretty cool buzzers and housers got together for a rec climb during the conference in St. Louis. Climbed a beautiful White oak in forest park, amazing tree.

Carlos (aka lumberjack) kept tntree and myself in stitches most the trip, think I even lost weight from laughing. Stoked I got to meet in person such great tree people!

Will post more pics as soon as I figure out how to get the ones off my camera.

[lumberjack]

The amount of a ... I am is inversely proportional to the amount of hippyness I detect.


Jon had it baaaad. Want to tell them about the salad sandwich?

Hahaha....One of those "no amino acid" specials??

Jon ordered a BLT without baccon on toasted bread with extra mayo.

I had some form of a carcase every meal, the American way.

 

[treesandsurf]

Hey hey hey, let's not twist reality here. I ordered a blt sans bacon with cheese and LIGHT mayo

Carlos is just bitter as there were no 'shoot your own meal' joints in St. Louis

I think tntree has some cool shots from the rec climb

Is that the tree they used for the speed climb?

 

[lumberjack]

Nay, it was off the beaten path and a goodly bit away from where the comp was held.

[tntree]

The OAK Rec Tree was a magnificant specimen, lots of lounging limbs.

 

[tntree]

Taylor, Zimm, Mo-Rice, JP and the Honey Bees paid us no mind

 

[tntree]

oops that third pic was MoRice again, heres JP playin, Whilst we lounged in the Tree, Karl was on the ground, he segwayed away and wrecked twice (3 times total during the conference, He is now Banned from all segways) Check out the Gash, no stitches needed. He was all smiles when he caught JP coming out of the Tree. Hey! where are your hands Carl

 

[squisher]

Cool! Was that beer in the tree? Man I'm gonna have to really try and make it to one of these dealios one year.

 

[squisher]

Lol, for a redneck Carl sure loves them hippy shoes!

 

[lumberjack]

Ha I thought I deleted that last one!

 

[lumberjack]

Yep there was plent of libations in and around the tree.

 

[tntree]

We closed the climb out by hitting a micro brewery, Nice Cars! Then Taylor passed out on his his new friend. Just kidding, he and zimm set the pace, notice the pudding beer. New Friends, good times

 

[MasterBlaster]

How in the heck did you get cups of beer up the tree???

 

[lumberjack]

Haul up beer, haul up cups, and combine.
