Default Tree climbing Lions?

Has anyone seen lions climbing trees in the Masai Mara?

I ask because in Big Cat Diary (BBC - UK) last night/tonight, some lions had
treed a leopard and her well-grown cub overnight. I thought, "I wonder
what'll happen when the lions climb up after them?", but Saba D-H didn't
mention the possibility, and it apparently didn't happen: at least one lion
was still underneath in the morning and the leopards were safe.

I've certainly seen lions up trees in Nairobi NP, and they're famous in
Manyara.

Where else have people seen lions climbing trees?

Slainte
