Hello guys,

My ID is Bradypus because as the three-toed sloths, wich bradypus is latin name, i climb slow and i like to hang and wait.
I'm french so i hope you'll be patient with my bad english, i do what i can but making mistakes with foreign languages is something like genetic for my people.
I'm 36 years old but a really young tree climber. I've learned thanks to Lionel Picart who's a known french tree climber, having a good master doesn't mean being a good padawan, and i'm the proof of it ! But i'm glad to had the luck of meeting him.

With some friends we've freshly founded LAGDLA (for LA Grimpe Dans Les Arbres, meaning simply Tree Climbing in french) wich is a tree climber forum like your's, but we are really specialised in leisure climbing as there's allready an other french forum for professional arborists but there wasn't any forum dedicated to fun and natural observation.
I come here to learn about your climbing culture and bring it back to our board for awaring our members that don't speak a word of english (except bad ones of course...) of your latests news and technics, then maybe coming back to ask you questions that would come from it. I hope that could be the start of some exchanges between us.

So nice to meet you, take care !


Best regards from the canopy

Hey Bradypus - WELCOME! Glad to have you.

Hmmm, looks like your English is as good as ours!

Looking forward to hearing about your methods, etc.

Thanks a lot to be so kind !

Hey! This isn't right! Considering my choice of avatar, and the fact that my name is Brad, it is only fair that MY username be Bradypus!

Welcome to the site, Bradypus! Don't worry about not being understood -- I wish my French was half as good as your English.

Oops ! Sorry for that Brad ! Fortunatly i didn't know about it, 'cause i would have been so embarrassed as it is my ID in four other climbing forums so i would have an headache trying to find some other name that could describe so well my lazy climbing style

Let's make a deal : i leave you the exclusivity of using a bradypus as avatar
Would that apologize me a little ?


For my english, thanks a lot for your kind support but you didn't heard me talking. Beleive me it's a mess

It's a deal.

I think you have come to the right place: there are many of us here that have the same climbing style as you!

Welcome Bradypus, say hello to Lionel for me, here he is in a white pine when he was visiting Massachusetts in October 2011, great guy to hang in the trees with!

Hi Moss, nice pict !
I will if I've the chance to see him again, and i hope so as I got a looooooot to learn and as he is a good teacher.
And a great person indeed.

He said that he would go to the TCI 30th aniversary on your continent, in Oregon i guess, maybe you'll meet him before me.

Welcome to the forums, Bradypus! We're glad you found us.

Hi Patrick, thanks a lot !

I'm the one to be glad. Your forum is full of experienced and knowleged climbers, i spend hours reading so many interesting topics. I hope that some day our forum could be a quarter interesting as yours.

I repeat myself but really, i'm the one to be glad
