Climbing a "leaner"

I agree with @joenewton

The crux of this one seems to be an experience / confidence issue.

I can think of plenty of trees you really have to push yourself mentally on to get past it and improve.

Worst thing about small leaning trees like that if there is usually they are more tiring / uncomfortable getting into good working positions.
Spend time setting up though. Try not to make cuts from awkward or strained positions

Any pictures of the tree. ?

Back to the op. I would jus spike it and use a silky if your feeling unsure. Get up as high as you can and if you have a good groundy and there isn’t enough space just snatch the top out an let I run. Don’t I’ve think it and if your really not happy find a decent climber to do a Hal day or you. Maybe not what you want to do but to be honest no shame in passing a job on until your a little more confident. Every tree I’ve been up since Friday has had a lean or have had a moving route plate. Effing weather
