Competition rules:
Our Freestyle Tree Climbing Competition is a bit different to the Amateur Open or QTCC. In this comp, there is only one tree with the aim being to get out of the tree the fastest, while always maintaining safety. Creativity is absolutely encouraged.
All climbers get two runs initially with the top 15 competitors progressing to the Qualifier round where the tree set up is changed slightly and more bells are added to the run. Of these 15, the top seven climbers move through to the Final where the tree is again changed up. The winner is the person with the fastest time in the Final.
