You'll think about your feet getting on, and again once or twice on the way up.

Not a safety inspection. Check the tree yourself before you trust it.

Wowie, to cycle past this beautiful tree for all those years and to finally think of climbing it! And what an experience, the bark has these very interesting 'gills' (or whatever the word is) that are soooo fun to grab onto as you climb up, feels super satisfying! And I could very easily go up above 10m! Nice and flowy tree. Watch out for peely/mossy bark up top <3
