PE 1657
Tree Climbing

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Whether you are a rain forest canopy researcher, an arborist, or just a kid at heart, everyone loves to climb trees. Recall the excitement and sense of adventure when you first crawled into the branches to look inside a bird's nest. Then you swung from limb to limb without a thought of ropes and harnesses. But what about that big tree down the street you always wanted to climb, but couldn't reach the first branch? This course will teach you how to use ropes and technical climbing gear to reach the top of any tree, to move around, and even to climb from tree to tree without returning to the ground.

When Offered Fall, Spring.

Fees Course fee: $345 for instruction. All tree climbing equipment is included.

Satisfies Requirement Satisfies one PE requirement if taken as PE. First class is required, students must attend 15 hours of instruction to receive PE credit.
