Welcome to AlexTreeClimber.com — a content-driven platform built for those who want to understand the raw reality of tree work, not the surface-level fluff.
This website exists to document the mechanical and physical reality of professional tree cutting, tree climbing, and technical arborist techniques. We don’t just talk about the “how”; we dive deep into the safety, responsibility, and hard-earned skill required to dominate the canopy.
Meet Alex: 15 Years in the Canopy
My name is Alex, and for the last 15 years, my office has been the high canopy of Washington, USA. I didn’t learn this trade from a desk; I learned it through a decade and a half of hands-on experience navigating massive hardwoods and evergreens in the Pacific Northwest.
Having spent thousands of hours suspended in a saddle, I created this platform to share the field-tested wisdom that only comes from real-world grit. Whether you’re a beginner looking at a climbing saddle for the first time or a hands-on professional looking to sharpen your edge, this platform delivers insights from the front lines of the industry.

Our Mission: Raising the Standard
