I was out walking today and came across this guy hanging from a rope below a bridge.

They were two local teenagers who have been practicing a new  sport I think they may have invented.  He had his feet in a sling and some kind of ratchet on his chest.   He would push off the sling with his legs and then ratchet himself up a foot.   In no time at all he could climb 40 or 50 feet of rope and come back down.

I yelled up to him “what is that called”.  He said “I call it ascending”.  I said “is this ‘a thing’ or did you invent it”.   He said “I think I invented it”

It made my afternoon
