The Pole Climbing

This is the most famous game in commemorating Independence Day of Indonesia, August 17.. Everyone's favorite!

Originally well known as 'Panjat Pinang'. This is a group competition. Each team consists of four men, carrying each other to get the prize on the top of the pinang tree, about 8 meters tall and slimy grease all over it. It's not all about strength. Teamwork and strategy is important here. But can you think about strategy if somebody's feet is on your head?

Join this game next year, guys? :D
