Tree Climbing

On Saturday Merrill drove up to Brigham City to compete in a tree climbing competition. He competed against 26 other professional tree climbers. They had 5 different climbing events. This was Merrills first time in this competition. He got 12th place. He did better than a lot of guys that have been doing this for years. I wasn't able to go (due to my bed rest and all), so there wasn't anyone there to get pictures for him, but he did land a spot in the deseret news. There is a picture of him lowering a dummy from the tree. You can't actually tell that its him, but it is. And there is an article telling all about the event. Check it out, he is picture #10;
