Brian Bartow Pole Climber - Mountain Hardwear's The Expedition Republic

 

Here's a video of Brian Bartow pole climbing last summer in Seattle. His dad did a great clown act in the timber carnival that day.

 

There is also a scene in a John Wayne movie where he climbs a pole to win the event. Anybody seen that? I have it on DVD, but don't know how to convert it to MPEG format.

I saw 'North to Alaska' a week or so ago, the pole climbing is a really good scene.

The Duke could do comedy :001_smile:

 

Been looking for the clip to post on here since, but alas no joy
