1. By: Simonne Ouimette. Climbing trees is not the easiest thing to do. It takes a whole lot of concentration. You have to be very careful while you’re climbing, so that you don’t misplace your foot and slip. You also have to watch where you put your hands. If you’re not paying attention then you could fall, and I am very positive that you wouldn’t want that. . Climbing up and down a tree (Safely/the right way). Before I tell you the rules, you want to make sure that you find a good climbing tree and that you can reach the very first branch. If not, then you should try jumping (only to that first branch), and if you still can’t reach the branch then go find a different tree.
