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.

Wow, this already looks a little bit fun, but it was even more fun! With this elderberry tree, the first bit you have to clench up using the left narrower part of the tree, which is already very fun but quite stretch-intensive. Once you're up that part, you can go all the way up on the bigger part of the elderberry, towering above the tree tops with a beautiful view. That's already very, very fun! You can then if you like: 1. Go down. 2. Transfer back to the narrow part on the top and climb the diagonal bit. 3. Transfer to the next tree over on the left, and then maybe even one further, or maybe that was it. I don't remember. 4. Go just down from that, but watch out for the nettles.
