Long post warning ⚠️
It's been a week since we wrapped up the Midwestern ISA Chapter Tree Climbing Championship. We had a great weekend with weather holding off and the MW-ISA staff dealing with paperwork & logistics. I have so many people to thank: on Thursday @integritytreecare , @arbordude , & @tim.cherokeetreecare got work climb, Aerial Rescue, & Belayed Speed Climb going. When @i_go_up_trees , @stihl__kickin , & Michael showed up we finished those 3 & got Master's going.
Friday we had lots of extra volunteers, even after some of our volunteers filled in for missing competitors. Several of the @arborimagetreecare guys did whatever random tasks I assigned. Jimmy & @joseph_of_the_ozarks got the throwline trees prepped by pruning. So many people just jumped in and helped. @treegorillatreecare gave lots of good feedback on coordinating a comp & helped coordinate gear check.

@treedogg24 ran Ascent and gave us some good feedback on what additonal items we need to keep it smooth. @michaeljaycureton was the master of hype and ran Belayed Speed Climb. @the_modern_arborist had a stellar crew at Aerial Rescue. @david.raines.37 ran a tight ship on work climb. Al Smith & the gang worked throwline.

Saturday ran as smooth as I have ever seen at a comp, though not without some anomalies like @stuart_cody_149 getting his truck stolen, but finding it and showing up a couple hours later to compete anyway. We had 13 first-time competitors & boy, was it fun.

Master's on Sunday, everyone got in the tree eventually, and dang ol' @pooktree_e finally got the win after a decade!

We had climber bags full of goodies, thanks to our prize Sponsors @arbsession @arborcutler & @atheightinc

We had a table full of prizes thanks to @arbsession

Our individual event and meal sponsors were @all.about.trees @arborcutler @ryanlawn BP Trees, Paragon Tree Care, Noble Oak, @tayloredarbor @arbor_masters @arborjetecologel & @rainestreecare

Thank you all for being a part. It has been a true joy to move into this new role. Thank you to all of you who made last weekend feel easy.

Sorry I didn't get to go to TCIA Expo this year, I've been consumed with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Casey @nightsquidstudios did an amazing job designing these custom Hawaiian shirts. If you want to order one, I'll post a link in a story. This song by my friend @calebdenisonmusic has been on repeat since he recently released it.

Arborist inspections are often required for outdoor adventure related activities where trees are utilized. The most fun project this week has been the zipline inspection at @ozarkmountain_ziplines in Eureka Springs.

I got a chance to go back to the place where I started my professional career- Franklin Tech and Joplin High School! Joplin FFA held agriculture career expo today. I got to visit with students about arboriculture and climbing.

P.S. I'm not fast at ascending.

Treating an already infested ash tree for Emerald Ash Borer. This tree had never been treated for EAB before. However, the utility company treated it with a Tree Growth Regulator to help it stay out of the electric lines. The TGR definitely kept this tree in good enough shape to allow for EAB treatment.

Today I got to see a bunch of other awesome arborist buddies from Southwest Missouri. I worked directly with the guys from Busy Bees, a crew I'd never met!

@salutingbranches is a national day of service where tree care professionals volunteer their time and skills to care for trees and landscapes at national cemeteries, in honor of our nation's veterans.

Southwest Missouri experienced significant storm damage at the end of July. Many tree care providers are still working on storm damage a month later. Got this sycamore removed and processed before heading to Albuquerque for ITCC.

Judging throwline at 2023 @isa.climbers ITCC was amazing! Knew nobody on the judging crew before the event, but the crew was fire! It was great to meet so many of you climbers & other tree people in real life! Pic/vid credits to @edgar_garcia_abad @the_industrial_tarzan @live.for.climbing @baumbule.de & Tiffany Castle.

Reposting stories from Head to Head Ascent at ITCC 2023. As you can tell, I was excited to watch and cheer on the competitors! Unfortunately, I didn't get all of them recorded. Here's what I got on video.
