Got to see Starlet climb in the NATCC in Savannah this spring, good climb, great attitude and she fit in well with the whole atmosphere. Haven't heard where she placed in Australia last week, but I'm sure it was an experience.
IF you haven't been to an ISA TCC International Society of Arboriculture , try to get there and you'll see some of the best climbing and comaradery. Everyone, judges, techs and competitors are willing to share what they know.
In 2012, the NATCC will be in Birmingham March 17-18.
