Climbing very tall trees is hard, especially as you feel the rope stretch and expend energy reaching the top; however, the view and atmosphere are rewarding.
The Great White Taiwania tree I climbed is estimated to be between 800 and 1,000 years old, having survived two significant environmental disasters over centuries.
My research on vascular epiphytes fits into a broader study assessing how giant trees react to climate change, as we collect data from high up in the canopy.
Every tree climbing experience is an adventure; during my fourth climb of Great White, I encountered a rare flowering species that may represent a new variety.
