First height upcrossings as integer stopping times #
The first integer time at which the forest height reaches a level is determined by the offspring coordinates strictly before it, and it is almost surely finite for a critical nondegenerate offspring law.
First integer time at which the forest height reaches q, with value infinity if absent.

A finite first upcrossing is characterized by the height at that time and its past.
First upcrossings use only the offspring coordinates strictly before the crossing time.

Every fixed height is eventually reached almost surely in a critical nondegenerate forest.
