The Ohio Tree Climbing Championship (Ohio TCC) provides a platform for the Chapter to showcase the arboriculture profession to the public and provide educational opportunities. Attracting 30 male and female competitors, 50+ volunteers, and spectators on an annual basis, this event focuses on safety, promoting the arboriculture profession, and heightening public awareness.
Contestants compete in five preliminary events 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, Belayed Speed Climb, Aerial Rescue, Work Climb, and Throwline. The top in-state contestants who have accumulated the highest combined point totals for the five preliminary events advance to the Masters’ Challenge. Out-of-state climbers may participate in all preliminary events and are eligible to place in these events. Only in-state climbers can advance to the Masters’ Challenge.
The male and female division winners of the Masters’ Challenge will have an opportunity to represent the state at the following International Tree Climbing Championship (ITCC).
