Your goal is to climb that tree without using your hands. *Points to a tree that's several kilometers high with no branches below the top* Every time you get to the apex of your climb, before you fall down, make a cut on the tree. That way you can measure your progress. Obviously, the secret to this training is to gain control of your chakra to the point you can fill your feet with it and use it to stick to the surface of the tree.
