Real technique from the first move onward. Nothing about this one lets up.

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

Man, this tree looks so, so lovely and fun, and it's so gorgeous, but man, it's quite a challenge! I think it's definitely possible to get up on the trunk with some proper bouldering skills: you can latch your hand into one of the pockets and grab your other hand around the other or the right side. You can slowly work your feet up and then grab maybe the thinnest branch, something like that, but it's too difficult for me still. Maybe one day.
