World's fastest pole climber

[Ekka]

You have all been so good of recent and I feel I should share this prized video I have held onto with you.

This is the man, yes an Aussie, holds the world record for the fastest pole climb, 80' in your scale.

It's a little different to the ways you may be accustomed to seeing it. We measure the way up only.

Enjoy, and it is the real deal.

That was a blast to watch! Now, why don't we have stuff like that at the olympics?

we'd have to make room for it.
We might have to boot curling. Or heaven forbid, synchronized swimming.

cool gaffs...i've thought of that idear...however, i do like when they're going up and down...cuz you can make time up by having the balls to wizz down, which is the scariest part it think...

 

[Ekka]

Not wrong, do you do that?

I wish i pole climbed! Mind you i kinda hate climbing poles...I'm so used to climbing fairly thick barked trees I hate the hard ones with almost no bark...like arbutus....Speaking of black bears, one of the guys i worked with got called to go get one out of a tree....It had been shot by a bow (don't know why people insist on hunting big game with bows) and ran up a tree and died on a limb about 40' up...it was right on the side of the road so it was a bit of an eyesore...especially to tourists! By the time my buddy got to it it was just skin and bones...
