Scaling the World's Tallest Climbing Tree - No Safety Gear! Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, Pemberton

[@gambylou9959]

Do you realise if it weren't for your bravery most of us wouldn't have had the opportunity to climb this tree within the safety of your phone. Thanks mate really enjoyed sharing this experience with you.

[@tonygiles3256]

Gives me sweaty palms and some weird memories from doing this in the dark 20 years ago.. never again for me but a good one crossed off the bucket list

[@TheAusJT]

Doing this in the dark? So, you got up to the top in the dark?

[@elainedixon1770]

I climbed this in 2004, 20yrs ago and froze 3/4 of the way up. 2 friends were on the ground , don't think realised what happened to me. Had a chat with myself and managed to get to the top and had no problem climbing down with tye buzz that I had from getting to the top & seeing the views. Great memories ❤

[@ltcrescent4011]

I was like ;oh that was quick', then he says 'first platform'

[@gamblore5148]

Haha - it just keeps on going!!

[@olddad6282]

We did this on Wednesday after conquering the Gloucester tree. Absolutely bloody awful experience but what a buzz. :) Good on ya mate.

[@johno6366]

Gets pretty sketchy when your vision becomes slightly impaired and when you get about 2/3's up and there is a few pegs that are a little wobbly and loose.

[@Bowhunterohio]

I used to climb trees back in the day when I cut timber but never this high. I give it to you man. It takes a lot especially with no harness or buck straps. And no gloves. I always had to wear gloves because my hands was always sweating. I’ve climbed 100’ trees to cut the tops out so I could imagine climbing this. I’m glad I gave that job up.

[@abuchaa]

I'm impressed. I feel you have a grip on life!

[@bentay9013]

I did this when I was 10 good times

[@timostan666]

I needed to do a double take for a minute there, our voices sound so similar! Dude, you have got nerves of steel, I was there about a year ago and went up about 20 pegs. But so damn curious about what was up there, so thank you for recording the climb. My curiosity is satisfied, and my anxieties reignited.

[@gamblore5148]

Haha glad you enjoyed it!

[@jolse1]

Wow! It's a huge tree. A good workout. Legday 😊

[@gordonlynes3605]

I climbed the tallest lookout tree Western Australia in the late nineties when the top lookout was a wooden hut with a hatch you climbed through my family where Watching me from the base when I got into the hut I waved to my family and the heard someone cough, and turned around and there was a young man sitting on the bench I said hello, he replied in broken English, I can’t get down I have been here for a long time my girlfriend she waits for me, so after talking for a bit I said I would help him down I went first and guided his feet on to the rungs he was shaking like leaf I just kept talking to him, his girlfriend must have gone for help When eventually got down he just jumped off the last two rungs and ran never saw him again, my family where looking on in bewilderment

[@CountDoDo]

The view at the top was amazing. It said the second part would be harder but I found it easier. Great Video!

[@gamblore5148]

yeh the view is awesome. I agree the top is easier - once you hit the enclosed part with ladders it feels much less sketchy.

[@TheTreehouseShop]

Hahaaaaaa nice view:) Love the brave breathing monkey!

The amount of anxiety this video gives me can not be described with words.

[@joshuaford2831]

Exactly how I remember it in the vault of my memory as a young man, I climbed it with my redneck amalgamation of a family featuring my dad and 2 sisters, my stepmother and her daughter, It was a windy day and my sisters were being overly dramatic about it, we got to the top and it was swaying 3 feet in either direction, I was crazier then and didn't realize how little my dad and I were taking it seriously, my step sister slipped and fell right on my right shoulder ass first and fucked it to this day, once we managed to get down a large group of tourists applauded like we had mounted Everest or something, embarrassing as all hell but a memory, Thanks for the vid, bud :)

[@busa6296]

Well done that man. I only got 10m up then had to come down. Coming down was even harder so glad I didnt go any higher!

[@StuartOliver83]

I climb trees for a living and theres no chance I’d do that without 2 lanyards to clip onto the rebar steps as I go up

Haha vintage rip curl from 20 years ago! Sadly had to replace it recently as it was losing time. Served me very well though.

[@FSNMvortexfn]

Lol also great climb

[@andrewjames2702]

I can’t imagine what it took to build that, hauled up piece by piece or lowered by chopper?

[@gamblore5148]

built rung by rung by hand I believe. There are incredible photos on the display there showing the guys who built it scaling the trees with no safety gear and literally standing on the top of the tree with no platform rope or anything. seriously crazy.

[@ghostectoplasma8090]

Me hizo recordar que en mi juventud subí a una torre de observación forestal en La Sauceda, Coahulia, México. Arriba se siente bien feo y eso que no creo haya sido tan alta como se ve este árbol. También subí a un quemador (apagado) en la Refinería "Miguel Hidalgo", pero cuando me faltaba la 4ta,. parte para llegar a lo último, me dio miedo y ya no pude seguir. Ah! También me hizo recodar que en mi adolescencia tenía una amiga, que nuestro punto de encuentro era arriba de unos árboles de eucalipto en la colonia de San Juan de Aragón y ahí quedábamos trepados como changos. Ahora a mis 64 años, ya no creo poder realizar ascensos de este tipo, al memos en árboles, aunque tal vez sí en torres con escaleras, pero con mucha dificultad. Felicitaciones a Gamblore514 por compartir su experiencia de trepar el árbol y un cordial saludo desde México.

[@gamblore5148]

Glad you enjoyed the video - best regards to you in Mexico from Australia!

How did you get down?????😱🤔😐

Same way you get up - one rung at a time!

woah i turnt to cotton wool just watching that is some serious balls

being at the top would make me dizzy

You wont jump down from that xD

Where is this?

[@gamblore5148]

Read the description!

[@fully_electric]

Can’t tell if u were panting from fear of the height or if u were just getting out of breath😂

[@gamblore5148]

It is definitely a rush, but more from the physical exertion - it is actually a bit of a workout!

[@p00x39]

n o p e

[@jackh543]

The hardest part would be getting down

[@johno6366]

Surprisingly enough getting down isn't that hard. I was just fearing coming across another climber abruptly and passing out and then falling. Not necessarily the heights in general. The only real scary thing other than that is the fear of misplacing a foot or hand as my vision became impaired.

[@pojwa1652]

for me climbing down trees is easier

I would go up but I would hate to go down on that

[@alconcerto]

Going down is worse... ?

[@trentonpepera8382]

You got me going nuts I was scarred you would fall and your kids whould not have a dad

[@Bowhunterohio]

Sad thing is they would never allow something like this in the US. Anything that could possibly hurt you or even kill you is pretty much prevented because of law suits. You can literally jump off a sky rise here and then sue the business because you was able to do it. Ya it’s that bad. I wish they allowed things like this here.

[@gamblore5148]

To be completely honest I'm amazed it's still open to the public! I say climb it while you can people because one day they will surely shut it.

[@thephaze3]

We're a WAY bigger nanny state than the USA lol, don't let this one tree fool you.

[@Leppy874]

Even though I’m not scared of heights wouldn’t do it

[@jacobbujnowski7892]

Yeahhhh........NAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@anthonyweir]

This poor tree is pretty badly wounded just so yahoos can prove their masculinity.

[@gamblore5148]

Or you could read the description where I explained why the tree was turned into a lookout... nothing to do with yahoos or masculinity (plenty of girls climb them too....) and everything to do with keeping people safe from bushfires.

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

no safety except for the ladder he is climbing! LOL

[@robinlimbach1585]

When I read the title I thought it would just be a guy climbing a tree but this is cheating. That doesn’t count as climbing a tree in my book. That’s just a tall ladder. Where I live there are 100 foot fir trees that I climb frequently and there are no modifications whatsoever.

[@CrackingGate]

cool story, better show us some videos of you climbing all these trees then.

[@Hillbilly973]

Another yank w#nker. Oh and by the way, this Karri tree is 250ft tall. Go way you insect. 😂

[@DreamBelief]

The world's tallest climbing tree? Who gave it that moniker? There are people all over the world climbing taller trees, sans bars that make it much easier and are akin to climbing a ladder

[@gamblore5148]

I'm sure there are people who have climbed taller trees at other times and in other places, although I should point out that Karris are one of the tallest species of trees in the world and you would have to try reasonably hard to find a bigger tree to climb. I don't however believe there is anywhere else in the world where a random member of the public can rock up and climb their way to the top of a 75m tree. And yes, it is basically a very tall ladder. It's still a lot of fun though!

[@BakedPotato7755]

"DreamBelief"Worlds tallest tree that is open to the public to climb... You might have missed it... it was hidden behind words in the description. Hows the USA these days? (Clearly where you are from)

Yanks continuously have show the world their absolute ignorance and what total braggart w#nkers they are. 🤣😘
