So I was at my slacklining class when some dude starting climbing his ass up a tree and hand picking some coconuts. He was totally casual about it as if he were plucking an orange off a tree.
Anyway, I took the opportunity to make a little video when he went up his second tree.
Watch:
I couldn't scale a rope in PE class...with someone pushing on my butt. Impressive...
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Micronesia (Palau and then the Marshall Islands) my students would do this all the time. They were little monkeys! But I always had fresh coconut :)
ReplyDeletehaha that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Thailand I saw a 70 year old man do this with ease. When he got down he couldn't even stand up straight having become hunched with age. You would have never known it watching him in the tree though!
ReplyDeleteMan, life in Rio...a little different than Belo Horizonte...
ReplyDeleteIs not easy actually, i can do it, but barely reach the top you need to much resistance in your arms to get up.
