Have you ever been to a party, hang out, forced social interaction and found yourself with nothing to talk about so you ask the clutch question..."So what do you do?" For us tree climbers, what that tends to spark is a conversation that usually lasts the rest of the evening as folks want to hear more and more about what we do for our work as most folks aren't as into their day jobs as we are.

Then, you add in that tree climbing comps are a thing and you proceed to blow their minds. They can't quite wrap their heads around it though, despite your best efforts. Well, this episode is born out of that conversation.

If you are thinking about competitng for the first time, whether you've been in the game for a while or not, this will be a good run through of what a comp is. If you want to pawn off that conversation to someone with a link to a rando dude chatting about it for over an hour...this is also your podcast. If you are said person who was pawned off on a random dude...I tried to simpllify it as much as possible, so please enjoy what will likely sound like Greek for the next hour.


p.s. the talk on the specific events starts around minute 32 so feel free to jump to there if you are not entertained by the history lesson.
