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.

Previously hadn't tried to climb this one but it's very lovely! You can get quite high, and the view is nice, and you can go down by crawling/bending the hanging branch on the back, and above all, there are soooo many isopods living at the bottoms of the branches (late summer)!!!?? Woww! After the first bit, it does get a bit harder to climb, with all those thick branches and what not.
