Sitka,

No fires or anything exciting. I was just wearing some cheap Hi-Tec hiking boots (I love them though, they're super light) and some climbing pants that I think I got at REI...

Re:Climbing a Palm Tree 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Geof

i Have a palm tree in my front yard to its about 8m high

First i got an extension ladder and climbed right up to the top of the tree just underneath those palm nut things and then i got a climbing sling, and i just simply wrapped the sling around the tree got a carabiner from the hardware shop and bought a simple rope put it through the carabiner and then i was done.

when i wanted to climb it i would tie my rope to the rope up the tree then pull it over

Hope it helps

Haz
