Gymnasts do as well, I've noticed. As do pitchers (as in baseball), not the water vessel haha). I used to chalk my one hand when playing billiards so that the cue would glide smoothly (since it would catch at times from sweat).
Reminds me of a kid I knew in college who liked to climb. We all called him Wally. Once he chimneyed (climbed similar to the pic above) up the library (9 stories high), and campus security got really upset at him. He was the only person who i trusted with my library roof key.
I was too short to chimney the library effectively. =P
Yeah.. I really admire the phrase "Don't look down" right about now. I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. So long as I have a harness or I'm on a solid surface, I'm good. What freaks me out is that he's being supported by his legs and the crevices, and NOTHING ELSE.

Shit like this is why men have shorter lifespans.
