It's becoming increasingly popular in the US. SherrillTree, one of the
largest arborist suppliers, now has a whole section dedicated to
recreational stuff on their website: http://www.wtsherrill.com/ It's
mostly standard arborist gear although stuff is coming out now that's a
lot lighter and cheaper than gear designed for professional abuse. I've
got some of that stuff, although the techniques I personally perfer to
use are mostly from the caving world.

I highly recomend it to any engineering types. You gets to play with
lots of fancy gear, get some exercise, it's more relaxing than rock
climbing, and unlike caving you might actually get a much needed tan!
