in Western Australia, they have trees that are pinned for climbing. This is filmed from the point of view climbing a 65m (215ft) tall one. (youtu.be)

No safety harness, permit, training or ticket is required, you just come, climb, and try not to fall.

Nobody has ever died from falling from this tree yet.

I filmed my climb in 4k, with no commentary, and no jump-cuts, to try to preserve the experience in video, for the day when climbing is inevitably halted.

Thanks for letting us ride along. Beautiful view from up there!

Being from Norway I'm always a bit fascinated by huge swats of flat land. Up here there's rarely more than a couple of kilometers of flat terrain before you encounter a large hill or a mountain.

Meanwhile, as someone who has always lived in flat areas, I'm fascinated by mountains.

This particular terrain is considered rather hilly where Im from...

We do have flatter land. Where my dad lives it feels like you could pour out a cup of water and it will spread out for a kilometer in every direction.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
