Day one of the International Tree Climbing Championship winds to a close. Fifty-six men and women climbers have given their best in the preliminaries.

Mike Duncan, climber, arborist, and former Special Forces solider, watches the climber plummet to earth from his perch high in the tree.

From city parks to the back corners of bars to the primeval old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, Free Falling takes readers into the intricacies of competitive tree climbers, arborists, and the niche world they inhabit.

About the Author
Anthony Tresselt is a certified arborist, arboricultural safety consultant, trainer, and student of arboriculture and tree climbing. He is a lead instructor with North American Training Solutions and Arboriculture Canada Training and Education. Through them, as part of an amazing team of instructors, he travels North America helping spread the word of safe, efficient arboriculture. He is also a veteran of the United States Army, having served in the first Persian Gulf war. Anthony competed in tree-climbing competitions for twelve years. Currently retired as a competitor, he helps organize and run many tree-climbing competitions, including a thirteen-year involvement with the International Society of Arboriculture's International Tree Climbing Competition (ITCC). He is the mastermind behind the blog Gravitational Anarchy (gravitationalanarchy.wordpress.com) and the website Gravationalanarchy.com. He is also a regular contributor to several arboricultural trade magazines. Anthony lives in Pennsylvania with his wonderful wife (who wrote this bio), adorable daughter, one dog, one cat, and five chickens. He awakes each morning, puts his pants on one leg at a time, and faces each new day with equal amounts of aplomb and internal panic. Such is the dichotomy of a tree guy that writes, struggling to be a writer that does tree work.
