With his clothes not having shrunk with him, that also meant that Spider-Man was without his web-shooters. He'd have to do this the old-fashioned way: clambering up the giant tree using his proportional agility and strength of a spider. Being spider-sized now, he guessed that just meant he had the power of a spider, so no actual, real super-powers to speak of.
"This sucks," Peter muttered to himself as he trudged through the forest of grass blades. "But, at least I still have my Spider-sense. A little forewarning of incoming feet or birds should even things out a little."
