Upside down climb

upside down climb:

(monkey climb)

this is basically the hand over hand climb, but with the legs flipped up so that the feet rest on the fabric (and "walk" up it) above the hands.

links: i think this is what the seattle circus wiki calls "monkey climb" and describes here: http://www.byz.org/cgi-bin/SeattleCircusWiki?MonkeyClimb in more detail.

here is a youtube video of this climb (from the same photoshoot that the above picture came from)
