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 lovely climb! There's so much to do in this one. It's really, really magical. Very easy to get up from the first point on it. You can really get up high in the canopy, and you have a beautiful, beautiful view of the whole surroundings. Being surrounded by the leaves and the birds, it feels so cozy to be in there. There's also a lot of fun movement room through the canopy and a couple very interesting offshoots to venture into. For instance, where the first big branch goes off towards the field, it's very fun to try to get up that as far as possible.
