Norm Hall, Leads a Present Day Climbing Level I Course

Norm Hall, our Tree Care Operations Supervisor, lead a Present Day Climbing Level I course at Triangle Park, Lake Forest, IL. This 2-day class was designed to show and demonstrate the latest climbing tools and techniques. As a “hands-on” class, all participants assessed trees for risk; installed a climbing line using a Double Rope Technique; ascended into the tree to make several pruning cuts, while suspended from their work, positioning a rope and harness.
This Illinois Arborist Association sponsored class is a part of the required IAA Advanced Training Program Module, designed to further knowledge in subjects such as Safe Work Practices, climbing and rigging techniques, and tree felling and tree ornamental pruning.
