How hard is it?

Just about everyone can climb trees using a rope and harness. Exceptional strength is not needed. Lighter people will have an easier time of it than those who are heavier. But again, once you've "learned the ropes" , basic tree climbing is a snap!

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
