It takes Scarlet about a week to explore something new, then she will refine her technique and perfect her skill level.  She now does amazing flips and spins jumps and leaps from the top platform.  She will pole climb to the top of the pole.  She will wrap her body around the pole as she is lying on the top platform and spin herself around the pole almost falling off the platform but at the last minute makes a dramatic recovery and then checks to see if I am watching.  The pole is at its max about 10 feet so it does wobble a little but it doesn't seem to bother her.  Well worth the money spent.  Great for bird watching as well.
