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.

This is just a very fun situation to go into! It's a tangled mess up there, but that's what makes it interesting. You have a beaeh, and next to it you have a chestnut. The beech is the main star of the show, but the chestnut is a very good supporting actor. I went up one side and climbed as far as I could, and then did a bunch of side-branch side-quest kind of things, and then eventually climbed down through the chestnut tree. It's a very special experience to be going through this! It's so cozy up there, and there are some cute isopod villages here and there. There are some really fun places around the canopy in the extremities that are just so fun to try to get through (because you have to really bend your body in very interesting ways to get through the whole tangled mess of it all). Yes, this was very fun!
