No safety harness, permit, training or ticket is required, you just come, climb, and try not to fall.

Nobody has ever died from falling from this tree yet.

I filmed my climb in 4k, with no commentary, and no jump-cuts, to try to preserve the experience in video, for the day when climbing is inevitably halted.

        I work with a guy from Melbourne, and he told me that there’s evidence some dropbears are growing attracted to vegemite.

        Now, I don’t know if there’s any truth to that, be careful, ok? Really careful…

        Never really understood the insistence of putting it behind the ears…

    Thanks for letting us ride along. Beautiful view from up there!

    Being from Norway I’m always a bit fascinated by huge swats of flat land. Up here there’s rarely more than a couple of kilometers of flat terrain before you encounter a large hill or a mountain.

      This particular terrain is considered rather hilly where Im from…

      We do have flatter land. Where my dad lives it feels like you could pour out a cup of water and it will spread out for a kilometer in every direction.

    Were the inclined sections, like at the beginning, easier, or harder to climb than the more ladder-like sections?

      Harder, the pins are just rebar, many are wobbly, they slope downwards and they are more spaced out than the ladder rungs, about a meter apart
