	Recreational tree climbing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recreational tree climbing uses ropes, harnesses, and other gear (but not ice tools or crampons) to scale a tree safely without causing it harm.
		The tree climb begins with "getting into the tree", which demands either employing techniques of aid climbing such as ascending a rope or daisy chain ladder or else free climbing into the tree.
		To safely continue the climb, the climber employs the techniques of lead climbing, where each piece of protection is formed by girthing the tree's limbs with slings.

	Recreational Tree Climbing FAQ -- Recreational Tree Climbing Instruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Recreational tree climbing is catching on and spreading across the country and around the world because it is fun, challenging, exciting, and because there is just something special about being up in a tree.
		Tree climbers usually spend at least as much time climbing their rope as they do the tree itself, which means they hang in their harnesses longer and more often than rock climbers.
		Tree climbing harnesses, therefore, especially those designed specifically for recreational climbing, have more padding and are far more comfortable to hang in than rock climbing harnesses, and generally cost more as a result.
