I think he's ass-piring for the Olympic gymnastics team.

(And maybe perspiring, too.)

[sid]

Yeah, he's totally doing that back-ass-wards. Also sky-ass-wards.

[lolmac]

Perhaps this is why he developed marginal acrophobia.

Oh I don't know, it's very practical from where I'm standing...

[lolmac]

Practically speaking.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: bottoms up.

Now -- is it the "real" roast, or a double's?

[lolmac]

There's room there for a joke about roast beef, you know . . .

It's a *rare* moment...

As P2 says, "Somehow I doubt that climbing is the focus of this picture!"

Of course not...I was focused solely on his grip.

*cough*

[lolmac]

Well, his hands are in focus, as is the watch and his left sock. His right sneaker is out of focus. So the sneaker certainly isn't the focus.

I've heard of flying by the seat of one's pants... but climbing?

LOL! *breaks out binoculars* O-O

I dunno, I'd probably go get something for him to land on.

"Mac! Hold on I'll get a big trampoline!"

This made me giggle because it reminded me forcibly of the dark ages (aka high school gym) when during our gymnastics unit in 10^th grade we were required to hang upside down on a climbing rope, and then transfer to another climbing rope, maintaining our upside down posture. Why did we have to learn this? I haven't a clue! It does seem singularly lacking in real-world, or even gymnastic utility. But we did, and I kind of liked it. It was a lot less terrifying (and painful on the hip bones) than the swinging around the lower uneven bar we had to do, or the vault over the horse (which might have been a tad less stressful if our school's star gymnast hadn't blown her knee demonstrating for the class!). Imagine essentially that pose, done by a procession of girls of various shapes and sizes, all wearing a humiliatingly ugly stretch-knit polyester onesie gym outfit, white socks, and sneakers, with their long mid-70's hair hanging down, and you will see why I got the giggles...

Maybe they taught us that in case we grew up to become screen actors, and the scene called for doing -- this [points up at Mac!butt]? I wonder if RDA's high school taught upside-down rope transfer too?
