Tree Climber's Companion 3rd Edition: The best guide for tree climbers ever written?
17The Tree Climber's Companion by Jeff Jepson has been the best-selling pocket guidebook for tree climbers for decades. Many beginning groundies and climbers got their start learning climbing knots, techniques, and safety concepts from this book. This book was often given to new hires, and at WesSpur, we included one in every tree climber starter kit.
But things have changed A LOT in tree climbing in the last few years. Now this 3rd edition of the Tree Climber's Companion is thoroughly updated and expanded to be up to date with modern tree climbing techniques, equipment, and standards.
The 2nd edition of the Jeff's book was 103 pages... the third edition is 192!
What is in that extra material?
The Well Prepared Climber
Descending the Tree
Working in the Tree
“Entering the Tree” expanded to address developments in moving rope systems, stationary rope systems, and climbing with spikes
Improved “Knots for Climbing and Rigging” section
The terminology has been updated to reflect changes, and the book now includes a glossary and “Random Advice for the Climbing Life”. Many new illustrations enrich this edition.
