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