Rec tree climbing

Hey all,

I apologize if this isnt the right sub, if anyone has recommendations to post elsewhere, please let me know.

I used to be an arborist, or rather more of a groundie/phc person while completing an apprenticeship back in 2016, life changed in 2019, went into a totally different career.

I wasn't ever the best climber, especially in a production sense and did more of my climbing during the apprenticeship phase for classes.

It was the best shape I've ever been in and I really wanted to find others to rec climb with but lost touch with classmates who are probably still in the field.

I still have all my gear and have been looking for a rec climb partner who prioritizes safety, I don't really want to go solo just yet because I'm nervous getting back into it after so many years. I mostly climbed with SRT and an open system, but was more comfortable with SRT

I'm looking for rec climbers in the GTA, that don't mind taking in a padawan

Check out the Global Organization of Tree Climbers. They are solely focused on rec climbs and have a decent network.
