Climbing Cardboard Gorilla

Step 7 Climb!

Fasten the centre loop to somewhere high, such as the top of a door (or the centre of your shed roof), and slide the gorilla to the bottom of the string.

Pull each string in turn (left, right, left, right), and the gorilla will climb the string, legs swinging.

Enjoy!

how does it work?

the string that goes through the hands is at a 45 degree angle where it passes through. when you pull the string you force the string straight, and then the gorilla is forced into a 45 degree angle, which lifts the other side of the gorilla a bit higher. when you pull the second string the same thing happens and the first side goes up, etc. by the way, great 'ible

The dark kite is in the background! Cool, now you just need a Mario climber to chase him.

There are the remains of at least four past projects in the background.
