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.

A promising tree, but for me, way too difficult to get to the main trunk. Even if you don't, it's very, very fun to just go up on the hanging branch, crawl up a little bit, and go sit at the fork, just overlooking the water and everything. A very cute moment to just be sitting there, swaying in the wind... I guess probably someone will be able to go to the main trunk and go further up, but this is very scary: to go either balancing or crawling all this way on this semi-thick branch!
