I have zero experience but have climbed a coconut tree few years back. The organizer is a friend so doing it for the fun.
True, it'd be slippery coz its humid af here. Was thinking of doing it bare foot, i have a five finger vibram- think that'd be better?
Hmm, would be tempted to do it barefoot as you can feel the surface better!
Climbing shoes have hardened fronts that offer good support on small ledges, but vibrams won't get you that...

Cool. Thnx for that. Doing barefoot then, not going to sell sats to buy a climbing shoe for one event. :)

Haha yes, they can be pretty pricey too!
