Hello from Germany!

Hello,
I am Jan from Germany, I am 15 years old and like tree climbing. I got into climbing 2 years ago because I wanted to do t5 geocaching, but this summer I started climbing more often and learned new techniques. My dad taught me basic climbing skills, and I learned more stuff on the internet. I should have probably taken a proper climbing course, but now I am climbing so well I dont need one anymore. Yeah, I know, thats kinda stupid, but I asked a professional arborist if my techniques are ok, and he did not see any problems, so I think I am fine. I signed up here, because I want to learn more about safety and tree climbing.
