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.

Yay! Finally, an ivy-overgrown oak that I'm able to climb. It is thanks to the narrow elm that is standing next to it. It has some branches to grab onto, and it is at the perfect distance to the oak that you can use it as a pull-up walking mechanism, walking up against the wall. I was able to take the first proper branch of the ivy-overgrown oak, which was so satisfying, and I felt like a tree elf! Possibly you could even get higher on it, but that was still too scary for me.
