The middle school students at Pittsburgh Urban Christian School launched a weather balloon last week to capture near space photos in the stratosphere. Unfortunately, the cameras and equipment containing those photos are hanging from a parachute roughly 60 feet in a tree! Furthermore, this tree is a little over an hour drive east on US-22...

 

It seems our only option to recover the capsule is to climb the tree using equipment - though we don't have the equipment to climb it ourselves, or the resources to pay somebody except in love and gratitude.

 

If you know somebody who might be willing to help, let me know! Its a lofty request, I know.
