This was quite something! I was looking for a way to get onto the willow and through the hanging branch. I didn't trust it enough with my weight, so I ended up going on the two wingnuts beside it, and that was quite a fun little climb to go up it. Sitting up there was also really nice, in between the parakeets, in a very nice spot to sit. Then I went down and found that I can actually transfer to the other wingnut, so I did that. On that, there are even more cool technical challenges, and you can go even higher. It turns out that there are two possible transfer points to the willow, but both are quite scary, and I haven't done it yet. One is almost at the very top. There's one branch that's kind of intersecting with the wingnut, so you can crawl on that, but there's quite a depth looming below you. The other transfer point is from that same wingnut at about 3 m height. If you have long enough legs, you can hop onto the first hanging branch of the willow. You don't have to make a leap of faith, but you have to really take care of your core strength and your core balance. Yes, that could be really cool because that willow looks very, very fun to sit on, but I haven't done it yet. Anyway, I very much recommend going here!
