Both Zombie outbreaks and tree climbing require cardio.

Had to go up and rope down a veteran climber a few weeks ago. Older gentleman, been climbing about 30 years, smokes and drinks daily, hates raking. Went up about 80 feet without spikes on a dead wood job. Got winded and suffered muscle failure in both arms, as well as dehydrated because mountain dew is not water. PSA follows.

1) Do cardio

2) quit smoking

3) Mountain dew is not water.

Been there, done that, usually for guys younger than I am. Most likely I be the one that gets helped down one of these days!
