To get into Level 2 you climb up a webbing ladder (not pictured) from Level 1 and through a portal that’s on the edge. This level has been walled in safely (no photos).

Colors on Level 2 are Lavender, Green with Brown Diamonds (not in use) and Orange amsteel rope, the Green with Brown Diamonds color is no longer in use because we learned that it breaks rapidly due to its external sheath patterning.

We chose a super static amsteel because the areas we working in were so small if we used any other material the perimeter would have sucked in so much the surface area of the floor would have been too small to sit or stand on. Ultra static materials such as amsteel are perfect for when you need the perimeter to not be displaced at all.

At the time of construction we were using handmade macrame tree protection. We spent hours using the paracord colors to make custom tree huggers that go around the trees and hold logs in place, which pad the tree from the rope. We don’t typically make this type of tree padding anymore because of its cumbersome, arduous and time consuming nature. We later learned that a simpler type of tree protection (bolting and sheathing) is more than sufficient.
