The climber to achieve the fastest time won. Organizer Tim Lindsay of Scarborough said, "It's a fun event and we are a supportive community . . .  we learn and are able to share best practices in safety -- while still competing against each other.

  • April 18, 2009 -- BATH, Maine. Seth Moody, a professional arborist from Caribou and Camden Maine climbs 42 feet straight up to a ring a bell while competing in a tree climbing competition in Library Park in Bath on Saturday afternoon. Six professional arborists from around New England raced against each other in several different events. In this event climbers had to hoist themselves up the rope using a technique known as "footlock"  because they shim up a harness rope by wrapping it over their foot and sliding a chair up to the top. Competitor Bear Scovil of Manchester Vt. said, "This event requires more agility than it does strength. You'll see the best climbers develop a rhythm of swinging back and forth as they move up the rope."   Organizer Tim Lindsay of Scarborough said, "It's a fun event and we are a supportive community . . .  we learn and are able to share best practices in safety -- while still competing against each other.
