Are you sure?
Sounds like they might just be tougher than some of us !!
I mean, those trees have been there for centuries for tree climbers to find. And who was tough enough to beat their way through the brush, endure swollen joints, wear out boots, climb huge log piles and wade through creeks and rivers - and get there first?
The botanists !!
Man...they kicked everybody's ass and beat them to the punch.
They also climbed to the top first, so they could take the high ground.
So in one way, they earned they way there. I guess that us other folks will have to do something equally as tough to contend with them.
From what I understand, they have super-charged the arborist's style of climbing and gear too, to the point that some of it's classified as well.
