PE 1659 - Redwoods Tree Climbing Expedition

Spring. 1 credit. S-U grades only.

Course fee charged.

Staff.

During senior week we will travel to the western slope of the High Sierra mountains of California. We’ll spend the week exploring the trees of UC Berkeley’s Whitaker Forest, learning the basics of roped tree climbing, including ascending, moving around in the canopy, rappelling - even moving from tree to tree without returning to the ground. We will stay in a rustic mountain house with electricity, running water, and hot showers. All gear, instruction, food and lodging, and on-ground transportation is included in the course fee.
