Blue Ridge Tree Climbing in Meadow of Dan, Va.

From 20 feet up in the air, the perspective on the world can be quite abit

different. In fact, thatÕs what Bob WrayÕs motto is all about: ÒAs your altitude

changes, so does your attitude.Ó Wray is a climbing instructor who teaches near his

home off the Blue Ridge Parkway, but he doesnÕt teach rock climbing or cave diving.

Bob Wray teaches tree climbing and is offering short introductions to the sport of

recreational tree climbing as part of the DATS symposium.

Register on the DATS web site and sign up for a group in the Gatewood atrium on Sat am.
