Stuart Witt's love of climbing trees has garnered him a big win.
The Cochrane arborist competed in the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Prairie Chapter tree climbing competition over the weekend at Hextall Park in Calgary.
"We’re thrilled to announce that Stuart took home the win in the Masters Challenge at the Prairie Chapter Tree Climbing Competition!" stated Nootka Tree Care. "It was an intense day against some of the best climbers out there, but Stuart’s skill and determination led him to victory. We couldn’t be prouder!"
Witt, owner of Nootka Tree Care, has over 25 years of tree climbing experience and has been competing since he was just 16-years-old.
He competed in five events; Aerial Rescue, Work Climb, Ascent, Belayed Speed Climb, and Throwline.
Witt will travel to New Zealand to compete in the International Tree Climbing Competition (ITCC) next year.
"Thanks to everyone who supported and cheered him on—this win is for you too!"
