ITCC Family Climb

It was a beastly hot day in Minneapolis (are you folks from Georgia sure you didn't bring some of your weather along?), and the hottest tree climbers anywhere were out strutting their stuff. My family and I came out to watch them for a while, but what the kids really wanted to do was the family climb. We eventually found Peter, Patty, and a bunch of volunteers over in a corner of the park.

After a short wait, during which the kids took bucket lift rides, Peter gave us the intro spiel and they tied us in. Wendy and the kids took to it right away - to the point where we had to come back for more the next morning. And this time, we remembered to bring the camera:

Many thanks to Peter & Patty! A good time was had by all.

I was hoping there would be a report on Treeman's ITCC family climbs, thanks for posting!

It can be tricky getting the right URL for your Flickr photos, I think this will do it:

Thanks much Moss. I'm still learning the tricks of coaxing the message board into handling images - it seems to need to be tricked into proper behavior. (I'd be fine if it just accepted straight HTML). Anyway, I think the links in the original message are OK now...

Thanks Moss for posting the pictures. It is nice to see actual family groups climbs taking place. They look like they were having fun. Good Job by Peter and his helpers.
