Would much rather swing and launch off branch to branch or trunk to branch then climb up an unsecured ladder  . It may be a bad thing, but I don't get "scared" just from swinging around in the tree...
What's scary is going out too far on a limb(Going past the 45 degree angle from your t.i.p[The point where you foot hold starts bearing weight down onto the branch rather then being supported from above]) to the tip and it snapping beneath you, all while your screaming back in towards the trunk with the pretruding stub waving hello at you    |
I'm with yopu i hate ladders,i like swinging around up in trees as well the rope gives you a sense of security while at the same time remaining kind of free.
