Default ISA Southern Chapter TCC

This past weekend Scotty and myself competed in the Southern Chapter tree climbing competition. It was a great event with excellent competition amongst the climbers. This comp is one of the best run events i have ever been to, well done on that all organisers. I meet some cool people and have a lot of new friends. Everyone was so friendly and encouraging, good times! Anyway here are some results

Scotty smoked the work climb for a 1st there
I got the footlock with a pb of 15.27
Lucas smoked the speed climb was great to watch
Odis got a perfect score in the throwline
Michael Skillin won the rescue with some bling techniques and the skill required.

At the end of the day i was the prelimb rounds winner with Scotty 4th, only 4 points separating us.

Us kiwis were not aloud into the masters being a little bit out of the chapter haha but a big congratulations to Lucas Drews for the overall masters challenge win.

From the left; Odis Sisk, Lucas Drews, Scott Forrest, James Kilpatrick, Matt Hedges, Rob Bramblett

Cheers James

Ekka we both have a pair of stretch air climbing pants with no chainsaw protection just as we have a pair with 6 layer chainsaw protection but for the competions we roll as light as possible so thats the deal there.

All the blokes there couldnt get over the european style. Hey what ever works the best im down with...

Thanks for the cheers guys!
