The need to move along steep structures arose in a person even at a time when, in order to get a tasty, juicy fruit, he had to climb a tree, relying solely on his own strength and dexterity. With the inception of building technologies, the first technical devices appeared - stairs. Oddly enough, but our contemporaries are not averse to shaking off the old days and climbing somewhere - on a tree, on a sheer cliff or on an ordinary post.

Step 1
A striking example of this is the holiday of the end of winter - Shrovetide, the culmination of which is the old tradition of climbing on a polished wooden post. Surely, each city has its own masters of this craft. Here, as in time immemorial, strength and dexterity are important. The climbing principle is quite simple. The first effort, in which the arms and legs are involved, is aimed at reaching a certain height.
Step 2
After the first height is taken, it is necessary to hold on to it in order to climb further. To do this, you need to wrap your legs around the post as much as possible. Once the position is fixed, a new upward jerk is made with the help of the hands.
Step 3
There is another trick to help you conquer the heights. To improve the grip between the surface of the post and the body, it is best to strip down to your underpants. The effect will not be long in coming.
Step 4
But they climb the pillars not only for the sake of fun. Representatives of some professions have to do this on duty. So electricians or signalmen, to move along wooden and reinforced concrete supports of various sections, use special devices - manholes with adjustable solutions, which can be fixed in the desired position using bolts and nuts with washers.
Step 5
Sickle-shaped claws with power parts are well known. They are designed to work on wooden poles of overhead power lines. The set, along with the claws, includes fastening straps made of genuine leather.
Step 6
There is a variety of claws designed for climbing trees. When carrying out high-altitude work, special belts are used without fail - fixer, safety or safety, reliably protecting a person from falling.
