Sure, if you'd like. We can go...maybe ten feet more up before the branches thin too much.
[the climb from here is a bit trickier. the next branch, gansey grabs with his hands and then walks his feet up the side of the tree to lever his leg up instead of lifting like a pull-up bar, because it's too wide for him to get a good grip around the other way. the next branch he has to lean out to grab, swinging as he pulls himself up.]
This is about as high as we can go safely, I think.
[he leaves that branch for max and levers himself over one more, grabbing a skinny branch for some support as he straddles his way over to a branch of similar height and width to the one where he indicated max should stop. the tree is sturdy, but he's not sure one branch will take their combined weight, and they're high enough up that risking it seems unwise.]
