Tree Climbing
At Cornell University, you can fulfill your physical education requirement by taking tree climbing for $700.
“Students are excited,” said Professor Mark Holton, who teaches the class. “We have never offered a tree climbing class that has not filled to capacity. We learn how to climb into large trees — ones where you cannot reach the first branch. We also teach how to move around, go from tree to tree, and come back down safely using ropes and harnesses and various kinds of tree climbing tools.
Holton said Cornell requires physical education, and many students prefer his tree-climbing course to alternatives including bowling or skeet shooting.
“The highlight of our local class is an overnight in the trees,” he said. “We also go to Costa Rica for climbing in the jungle.”
How un-PC, everybody knows there are no Jungles, only Rain Forests. And Rain Forest Bunnies.
I would have signed up for tree climbing if my college had offered it!
Of all the classes offered, this one sounds about the best.
Actually, tree climbing seems like the one appropriate course in this list. It is good physical exercise, just like any other good PE course.
