Follow the blue arrows, you can now see that the wires have been removed.

John is now holding the 2nd reverse platform (created from the reverse side of the first platform.

The left hand goes BEHIND the tree and the right hand stays close to the end of the first spiral.

You can also see how to attach the supports, leaning them against the inside of the wires.
