Linnea: So how high do you think I should climb?
Rob: [pause]
Rob: As high as you think you should climb.
(There are no branches for a bit but she can scramble up to a bit with handholds, and after she has a handhold, it's easy going - but some of the branches are rather thin. I've told her that if she falls out and hurts herself she must be sure to scream loud enough that someone can hear her and come to help.)

That's way too thick.
