(video) Ground to Crown: Climbing the Giant Sequoia — Slingshot or Crossbow • View from the canopy! • Tiny size of a single seed! • M&M-to-mouth toss record

Ground to Crown is a short-form documentary about four young tree climbers and their journey to climb old growth Giant Sequoia trees in California. Scaling the dizzying heights of some of the tallest trees in North America, their efforts not only assist researchers from University of California at Berkley, but also give them a unique perspective on the forests and their place in it.
