You'll think about your feet getting on, and again once or twice on the way up.

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

Wow, what a fun one was this! I climbed up the bit on the left because that's the only way to start, and then it was a really scary moment to transfer back to the main trunk because I wouldn't know if I was able to get back. After practicing getting back from that a couple times, suddenly I felt safe to go hop onto the main branch and work my way up. That was just very, very fun already on its own! This beech is just very interesting because it has many layers of leaves that you have to wrestle through as you go up, which is just a really fun experience. You feel really lost in the canopy, as if it's like a thick cloud of mist, but then it's leaves. Very fun, big recommend!
