For me, I think it might have been over ten years. Not sure tho, might have climbed one in the meantime. But either way, it was too long.

Canadians do this one trick when they see a bear.
Successfully? I was 13. Attempted? I was 45, got as far as hanging from the lowest branch
Last autumn I put up a bird box opposite our bedroom window. For the want of a ladder I had to climb the birch tree. I enjoyed it at the time but in retrospect I wish I hadden’t gone up in shorts and t-shirt. Birch bark is basically human grade sandpaper so I looked like I had humped a porcupine afterwards.

I don’t remember ever climbing a tree. I lacked the skill when I was young, and now I lack the strength (and time).
