Tree climbers ascend to glory in Olathe
Tree climbers from around the Midwest clambered up trunks and finessed their way past limbs in Olathe’s Stagecoach Park on Saturday to see who’s the best at their craft.</p><p>“The purpose of the event is to give working climbers an opportunity pit their skills against each other, and by virtue of that, improve their climbing techniques,” said event coordinator J. David Mattox. “That’s how the climbing profession evolves as a whole.”</p><p>The Midwestern Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture hosted its annual International Tree Climbing Competition at the Olathe park because of its sprawling grounds, diverse species of trees and convenient facilities, said Rick Spurgeon, the city’s arborist of 29 years. </p><p>This year’s jovial gathering included 35 members of the Midwest chapter, each competing at five work stations for a shot at the coveted Master’s Challenge.</p><p> “We’ve got five events that are structured to look like the activities that we have to perform in the field when we’re out working,” said head judge Tim Crews. “Those five events are scored on time or your ability to handle your weight and move through a tree with finesse, sometimes both.” </p><p>The winner of Master’s Challenge earns the right to compete at the international climbing competition in Australia, with a portion of travel expenses funded by the society. </p><p>Safety is paramount in the arborist industry and events such as the climbing competition are not only networking opportunities, but also a chance to ensure that proper technique is being taught uniformly across the board. </p><p>On Friday, Mattox and technical director Dan Mekkes inspected the quality of each individual climber’s gear. </p><p>“In our industry, we consider 40 feet high in a tree the ‘death zone,’ ” said Mekkes. “No one survives a fall after 40 feet so all 35 climbers must go through a gear check. Every rope, every carabiner, every hard hat — everything these climbers wear outside of clothing — we had to inspect. The average rope is 120 to 150 feet in length and every climber has an average of two ropes, if that gives you any idea as to what the inspection process entails.” </p><p>Families, coworkers and competitors gathered like comrades around picnic tables and in lawn chairs, sharing sweating beers, watermelon slices and stories of past competitions.</p><p>“There’s a lot of climbers here that wait 364 days to right the wrongs that they experienced last year,” said reigning 2010 Master’s Challenge champion Brandon Shields. “Every single one of us has a feeling like that, but if we can cheer on somebody else to do their best and push themselves beyond what they’ve ever done before, that’s pretty cool.” </p><p>The laughter never ceased Saturday, though the tension mounted as the judges worked for hours to tally up the final scores. </p><p>Only four men and four women can make the cut to the Master’s Challenge, which puts all their skills through a final series of physically and mentally strenuous tests. </p><p>The arborists’ first and perhaps most tedious task is to land the throw line on a sturdy limb high enough in the tree to allow the climber to complete all of the tasks required once they’re up. </p><p>The throw line then feeds a climbing rope through the tree with a carabiner.</p><p>Once the climbing rope is safely in place, the arborist dons a work harness and ascends with maneuvers such as “foot-locking,” an essential rope shimmy, or body thrusting, where the climbers caterpillar up the tree by using the climbing rope and the trunk of the tree as footing. </p><p>At various locations in the tree, the climber must perform a mock task, such as descending a limb to prune excess flora without applying too much pressure to the delicate foliage. </p><p>If a climber exceeds a limb’s weight limit, a buzzer sounds and points are deducted.</p><p>In the men’s division the finalists were Brandon Toppins, Jerel Converse and Noel Boyer of Springfield, Mo., and Edmund Turner of St. Louis. </p><p>Ann Koenig, an urban forester for the Missouri Department of Conservation who took up climbing as a hobby, was the only competitor in the women’s division. </p><p> “Through work, I don’t climb at all,” said Koenig. “Most people would start off with a tree care service, starting as a ground person and learn from the climber. But for me, since I wasn’t working in that business, I went around to the competitions and looked at what they were doing. I got books and studied (the techniques) and then tried them in the yard.” </p><p>Koenig was a mystery at the competition, where most people knew one another through work or similar contests, but she completed the Master’s Challenge with obvious dedication to the craft. </p><p>“She’s one of the best women climbers I’ve ever seen,” whispered a man in the crowd, right before he shouted, “You’ve got this, Ann!” </p><p>By default, but not without exemplary exertion, Koenig advanced to the women’s division competition in Australia. </p><p>Turner, an ISA-certified arborist of 7 years and a second-year competitor, completed the Master’s Challenge within 17 minutes and won his division. </p><p>“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to go Australia to climb trees,” said Turner. “I’m a third-generation arborist. This is my passion and this is what I love to do. I’m completely overwhelmed and it’s exhilarating.
