Enjoyed something a little unusual during my recent 'work' trip to Honolulu. A local ecotour guide has established a top-rope only gym amongst some pretty tall banyans near the Manoa waterfall.
If you are passing through en route to yosemite I highly recommend giving it a go. Take some mozzie repellent and shout the route-setters a beer for the expense and trouble of setting it up. It's quite fun, good for those with poor footwork (there sort of are no feet!).

Jeez, you'd think we were monkeys or sumpin.... :-) Well, considering it is Hawaii and you're close to Jack Johnson's stompin ground, "maybe because people are lonely and only animals with fancy (climbing) shoes"

You could set something like that up in the Daintree, with the occasional bird-eating spider to add a bit of extra spice.

And a Brown Snake for the crux!

Yeah, but did he do them with a head full of Nimbin buds and 'shrooms?? ;-)
