David Loats

On this episode of the New Heights Podcast, I sit down with my friend David Loats out of Orlando, Florida. David is an ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Certified Tree Climber, competition climber, contract climbing arborist—and most importantly, a father. In this episode, we dive into tree climbing competitions, mental health, and what’s ahead, including the upcoming release of David’s new podcast, Vertical Perspective. Solid dude and a great conversation. Glad to get to know you better, brother—see you soon at Geezers!

This is a re-release of the New Heights Podcast with my good friend Ben Asaro — or as some of you know him, the Tree Climbing Kook. This episode was originally recorded back in June of 2022, got lost in the shuffle, but has finally been found! Ben’s been a solid friend for years. He’s currently with The Treeist out of Chapel Hill, NC, and is a Certified Arborist, Certified Crane Operator, and OSHA Qualified Rigger/Signalperson. But more importantly, he’s just an all-around good dude.
