Wendy Baxter began climbing trees as a child and she's never stopped. Today Wendy spends her working life climbing the emperor of all tree species, the giant sequoias of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the United States. These trees can live thousands of years and grow to a height of more than one hundred meters. Despite her own fear of heights, Wendy climbs them to study the effects of climate change.
