tree climbing
Tree climbing is the skill of ascending and navigating trees using physical techniques, safety equipment, and body movements. It involves understanding the tree's structure, such as branches and trunks, to safely move upward or downward. Climbers often use tools like harnesses, ropes, and spikes, as well as hand-over-hand grip and footholds for stability. The activity requires strength, balance, and awareness of safety procedures. It is practiced for recreation, scientific research, arboriculture, or recreation, enabling individuals to observe and work within the tree’s environment effectively.
