Equipment is vandalized, buildings broken into, and a surprise discovery is made by one member of the group; one that could solve all his current problems. Day one of the International Tree Climbing Championship winds to a close. Fifty-six men and women climbers have given their best in the preliminaries. The final climber in the work climb event begins his run. A past champion and flamboyant personality, all eyes are watching him. Unexpectedly, his rope parts and he plunges to his death mid-swing ... Mike Duncan, climber, arborist, and former Special Forces solider, watches the climber plummet to earth from his perch high in the tree. Later, after the crowd disperses, Mike, as the event's head technician, ascends the work climb tree. There, high in the canopy, he makes a discovery of his own ... From city parks to the back corners of bars to the primeval old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, Free Falling takes readers into the intricacies of competitive tree climbers, arborists, and the niche world they inhabit.

A path leading to questions best not asked, with answers that once gained, nobody wants.
