[She won't be waiting long; it's no lie that he really hasn't done this before. Lack of interest as a kid plus the current natural ability to fly doesn't encourage one to learn how to climb.
It takes a grand total of one slip of a foot - bare feet aren't good for tree-scaling, apparently - and suddenly down he tumbles, letting loose a shout and stretching his hands out to try and grab for any branches he can. Most of them snap or slip out of his grasp, and he can't do much more than slow his fall- barely. In desperation he starts muttering for a levitation spell, but the ground is coming up way too fast for that.
