Pole roughly 3-6 meters (10-20 ft) tall

HOW TO PLAY
1

Plant the pole upright and coat it generously with grease from top to bottom.

2

Tie a bundle of prizes securely to the very top of the pole.

3

Contestants take turns trying to climb the slippery pole using only their hands, arms, and legs.

4

Team up in small groups to boost each other higher, since climbing alone rarely reaches the top.

5

Whoever grabs the prize bundle at the summit keeps it, ending the contest.
