Would you climb this?

My grandmother would climb that tree.

Damn. That is one ugly tree.

The hemlock was a tad sketchy but grandma said it was ok.

Are those holes from Pileated woodpeckers?

 

[Pelorus]

Likely Pileated.
Wall thickness of about 2-1/2" above the open seam.

Careful my friend. Tie into a neighboring tree if you dismantle. Also, use a tag line to reduce movement if needed. You can use a hammer to listen for soft spots, drill it and test for soft spots, etc. Don’t EVER “F*ck it” climb.
