1.24.06.jpg

While rock climbing last night, these guys caught my attention doing a test of stretching and balance.

The idea is to keep your feet behind the line and walk your arms out using only 2 bottles while not touching your body to the ground.
While keeping balanced on one bottle, (yellow bottle in this case) you stretch one arm out and push the other bottle (green) as far as you can.
The hard thing is, you still have to get back to standing position, again without your feet going over the line or your body touching down.
This picture was taken during the return to standing position.

haha, it looks like we did. I didnt know you climbed matt. I was trying out my new remote flash setup last night. Harder than I thought it would be without a wider lens. That sounds like a good game, we'll have to start trying that out here.

haha

have a good one matt.

p.s. this summer when joe invented this game we used beer bottles and and old wooden porch for a level surface that was not so level and had nails sticking up....add that into the mix and it gets even harder
