I'm planing fly to China on 23rd/November.
The course will be including dDRT,Rigging,SRT,night climb and canopy platform.
Most if the students are doing botanic research.from next year,they will climb up to canopy to sampling all the canopy grows.
I'm glad to have this trip to train them as the first tree climbing instructor in China.

Elliot---I like your farm line, but I am having trouble learning your sidewise throwing method. The line is great and really flies high. I just can't quite get it to go where I want it. This is going to take some practice, my friend!

Elliot,
Your farm line is the best line that I have. I like it!
If other climbers continue to like, we will need a spool here. We will talk about more farm line in the future. For now, we're ok.
Jim

 I'm back from China
Dear friends, I'm back from China.
The 2 weeks was a happy and exciting training.8 students was trained.
We had DRT,SRT course,and tie up a canopy platform up in 53 ft high which can be stay 5 person on it.
One of the students had post some pictures on her blog. please see:
http://dullduck.blog.sohu.com/72295687.html
At the 7th day training,we climb a 140 ft olive tree as a graduate tree. students need to be throwing up to 92 ft high anchor and do everything by themself. they did.
For Taiwan and China are in the same language, students can understanding every word I say.
This time was a creating journey,If you are interesting in climbing in China,we can make a climbing group to go China in the future.
Thanks for your concern.

Congratulations Elliot, and thank you for opening up mainland China for tree climbing. The photographs your student posted are great. When they set up the olive tree for their graduation, did they actually hand throw to 92 feet? If so, did they use your hurricane throw? A tree climbing trip to mainland China would be great some day...!
