When the weather cold enough for me to make ice on haybales, I have
plenty of local ice on some nearby seeping cliffs. I'm not that hard
up for climbs, I just climb way too much. I like climbing trees even
without ice gear. A good tree with lots of branches is a very easy
lead, but gets a bit dicey when it's only 2 inches (50mm) near the
top. A tall tree on a hill top it has a great view and sways around
in the breeze. You have to have faith in the wood.

I guess my continued passion for climbing tree started when I was 5
and lived in Houston, Texas. I climbed a sweetgum tree in my parents
front yard until I was way over the roof top of our 2 story house
about 30 feet (9 m) up. The tree was very thin up there and started
to bend over. Instinctively, I held on and the tree bent over all the
way to the ground. I let go when I was on the ground and the tree
flew back upright. Lucky for me that the tree was so flexible,
because there wasn't any rope to save my ass. That same tree is now
over 60 feet (18 m) tall.

PS

If only I lived near some 200 foot (60 m) Redwoods. Now there's a
tree!
