Hi Guys , a tad bit high for me . The old man used to run up those big mother Huon Pines in Tasmania with the spikes and slings when he was a young fella . I prefer to keep my feet on the ground , that way its not too far to fall .

Cheers Alpine

Ah yes, the infamous California Redwoods. I've seen them in person, and boy are they a sight to behold. It's incredible. Respect your elders.
