A hard start, or a tree that keeps asking things of you all the way to the top.

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

That was quite a personal challenge for me, but very, very satisfying! You go up the narrow beech a couple steps with some nice glancing technique, and then from there on, you can either: - go up further on the beech and transfer to the maple at about 5 m height - already transfer to the maple at about 4 m height Both routes are very, very fun! On the maple, you can still get up quite a bit further with, again, a little transfer back to the beech and then back to the main trunk again, and then you're up quite high with a lovely view. Oh yeah, by the way, look out for the thorns close to the entrance of this climb!
