I know that place!
Haven't been there in 35 years, but the dihedral high above is distinctive.

There is a 100 foot redwood in the back yard, all this time i was going to the gym.
you can duplicate all kinds of weird routes in those tree limbs.
much more 3D.
so 30 times up the tree = 1 el cap.
no need to change into shoes.
creeps the neighbors out, they think i am a sneakin and a peakin.
but i did accidently find out where the lady downstairs works.
she took off from lunch to go back to work while i was in the tree.
turns out, as i suspect, because i use to hear noises downstairs when her car was not there, kind of creepy, anyway, from the tree you can follow cars all over the hood, so long>short, she works two blocks away!
so the creepy sounds for the last 5 years like an edgar allen poe apt, the monkeys paw or some weird sh#t, she was creepin back on foot from work, Mystery Solved by the tree.
so trees are good.

so if you put Ron Kauk in a pair of golf shoes, do you think he could crack climb that redwood to the first ring of branches?

In NYC, in the late '80s... a city ripe with photographic possibilities, I nevertheless decided to photograph this lowly pine tree that I stumbled upon, tucked away in a nondescript part of Central Park.
A few years later I was cutting through the park to get somewhere and, "Hey, there's that tree!". Snap. Another photo. A few years later, ditto, repeat. Last year, once again, "Sh#t, that tree!" It's in an odd part of the park, and there's not really a regular path that takes you past it, but I keep finding it somehow, or it keeps finding me.
