Recreational tree climbing uses ropes, harnesses, and other gear (but not ice tools or crampons) to scale a tree safely without causing it harm. The tree climb begins with "getting into the tree", which demands either employing techniques of aid climbing such as ascending a rope or daisy chain ladder or else free climbing into the tree. To safely continue the climb, the climber employs the techniques of lead climbing, where each piece of protection is formed by girthing the tree's limbs with slings. Once the lead climber ascends the tree, he or she may create a top rope anchor or else simply rappel down. In the event that an anchor is created, other climbers can subsequently climb the tree without having to lead. This is a mellow, fun experience, pioneered primarily by arborists and environmentalists.
