The ISA International Tree Climbing Championships
World Championships Presented by:
Welcome to the official site of the ISA International Tree Climbing Championships (ITCC).
The International competition that has been held in conjunction with the International Society of Arboriculture annual conference began in 1976. Since then, the number of competitions have grown and expanded to promote safe working practices.
Professional tree climbing competitions are held around the world to provide a platform for arborists to learn about the latest in climbing techniques and innovations in equipment. They showcase the highest level of professional skills and safety, providing a competitive learning environment for those working in the industry.
The competitions simulate working conditions of arborists in the field. Male and female competitors perform five different events during preliminary rounds. Each event tests a competitor's ability to professionally, and safely maneuver in a tree while performing work-related tree-care tasks in a timely manner.
Competitive tree climbing also introduces the public to the skills professional tree climbing arborists must use for safe, professional tree work.
