🌲 Comp Season 2025! 🌲

After a long break from the tree climbing competition scene, Arbor Master was back in action — fielding six competitors at this year’s South Island Regionals in August! 💪

It was an epic day for the crew with wins or podiums in 4 of the 5 prelim events 🥇🥈 🥉and two national qualifiers heading through! 🔥

At the end of September, Alfie made the trip north to Auckland for the Nationals, spending the weekend learning from some of NZ’s best — both on the ropes in prelims and volunteering as the in-tree technician for Sunday’s Masters comp. 🌿

Now we’re looking forward to the ITCC in Christchurch on the 17th–19th of October — what an incredible opportunity to have the world’s best climbers competing right here in our backyard! 🌏🌳

A massive thank you to all the incredible volunteers and judges who give up their time and energy to make these events what they are — you’re the backbone of the climbing community. 💚

Leo modelling the lightning tree.
Previous owner of the property thinks this Giant Redwood was struck by lightning around 40 yrs ago.
The upper crown grew back over the years but has been removed due to safety concerns. Will leave the remainder as a feature.

Large old multi stemmed Cedar tree to remove deadwood, lift and thin.
It came up great.

We spent a few weeks on the main drive at Meadowbank, making these Macrocarpas safer, lighter and creating parking bays at the side of the drive. A big job!! but the end result is pretty impressive as you enter the property from the main drive.

The new utes just been wrapped.
Looks great!!
Thanks to Steve and the team at SignBiz for all their hard work and patience.
