Effort

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.

Whoa, a proper tree transfer practice run here! You go up the alder and watch out for the nettles. You can go all the way up and test and sweep around, swing around with the tree, and get a feel for its weight. Then you can go semi-easily from the one big branch to the other big branch. Once you're used to that, you can go transfer to the narrow branch, which is also strong enough to hold you. Get a feel for that once you're on that, and then you can even transfer back and forth to the tree that's on the right field from the front. You can just chill around on that. Maybe more transfers are possible, but I haven't been able to do that. This was already very, very fun, and maybe it's best to go back from that to the main tree because otherwise you have to go through the nettles if you are returning.
