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.

Quite an unforgiving cluster of field maples. There's some really fun stuff that's possible in here, but damn, it was testing me! I climbed up the front side, and I'm not sure if that was the best idea, but it was a fun overhand climb to get to the first part. You can go up and up and up through some tree transfers and everything, but it doesn't really give you very nice resting spots. The branches just get quite steep, and it's just quite an intense experience to climb. It's certainly a good training ground to try to flow through this with some kind of ease.
