I'm afraid of heights so this discussion does not apply.=P

Jokes aside, climbing trees is a lot easier than climbing buildings. Not everyone can do parkour y'know so they simply climb trees the old fashioned way. If there is no place to keep your foot, then that tree cannot be climbed. Unless of course you have a cloth or rope wrapped around yourself and the tree(Coconut). I mean seriously, a cupboard is lower than a ledge in AC but you need a bloody ladder to get on it, why? cause its the way things are. Not everyone is superhuman. Tree climbing is a natural skill you acquire when working in woodlands. Since when is climbing buildings a natural skill? And another thing, FAT people(me) can't possibly grab onto ledges but can climb certain trees, not like Connor but can still climb them as long as there are strong wide branches and gaps for footing. My body mass/arm strength etc. however makes it impossible for me to support my weight while being off the ground so I can't climb for shit. Oh how I wish I was healthier.
