The young woman lays a "climbing rope" from a liana stem of some length and fastens it with knots. Then she climbs up a tree by alternately reaching up its trunk and drawing and stretching her legs held by the climbing rope accordingly. She gathers the fruit of the tree with a picker and then slides down the trunk using the climbing rope, grasping the trunk alternately with her hands as she goes.
