ABOUT​ THE COMPETITION

The Minnesota Tree Climbing Championship brings together some of the best true tree care professionals in the state to showcase their climbing skills in a series of competitive events. It’s a fun-filled event for all to enjoy!

​Climbers compete in five preliminary events on Saturday to qualify as one of the top contestants to earn the right to advance to the championship round – the Masters’ Challenge.

The preliminary events include Ascent Event, Belayed Speed Climb, Aerial Rescue, Work Climb and Throwline. Those who have accumulated the highest combined point totals for the five preliminary events advance to the Masters’ Challenge on Sunday.

The first place winners of the Masters’ Challenge for both the men’s and women’s divisions win the opportunity to represent MSA at the International Tree Climbing Championship (ITCC), September 9-11, in Copenhagen, Denmark, along with the ArborMaster Climbing Kit Prize Package.

Second-place winners will have the opportunity to represent MSA at the 2022 NATCC, August 5-7, in St. Paul, MN.

We hope to see you there!
