Wow, this was an adventure! I hadn't expected at all that I would be able to get to the top, but going bit by bit, it was surprisingly possible. Every step, I had to be really careful to not fall. There's this really steep point in the middle that you can't get up, or which would be quite dangerous to get up by yourself. You can bend the little maple, the narrow one that is standing next to you, towards you and kind of leverage your way up through it. I had to really breathe through it, but it was surprisingly possible. I could climb all the way to the end of the branch that's kind of peeking out of the bush, and it's such a fun feeling to be sort of hovering over the abyss like that! Really, really fun!
