Very cool!

My kids enjoyed that.

If only they could use a handsaw, then you would really have something.

 

[treehumper]

yeah, a lot of unemployed arborists!

The groundies would be kept busy though with the extra clean up.

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

haha!! put a Corinthian Blue Pacific helmet on one, with a Tree Magic saddle and you'd think that was me.

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

Here's another climbing technique from Madagascar's spiny forest.
Verreaux's sifaka video

Wow. What a display of skill and precision. Many of those trees are covered in thorns.

Hate to be critical, but they are not wearing protective glasses.

Anyone get their phone number, I have a few elms that need pruning and its gonna be a butt clinching technical climb on skinny limbs.

Those guys get my "crazy climber of the year" award vote!

 

[Gerald_Beranek]

I envy them, but at the same time feel so fortunate to share their perspective of the world.
