As a kid, I liked to climb a tall fir that stood beside our house. Its branches were spread close and evenly, which made it easy. Because I was climbing close to the trunk, the needles on the outside hid me from my parents’ eyes.
One of my favorite parts of The Overstory by Richard Powers was the description of a couple climbing a redwood tree and camping in its canopy for weeks to prevent it from being cut down.
I’m not along in my love of tree climbing. Here‘s a video of someone climbing a Giant Sequoia, and here‘s Cornell’s Tree Climbing channel.
