Its a sort of timberhitch. Wrapped around the trunk once and then around the rope three times. He would advance the rope and then pull on the free end to tighten it up. Whole thing looked very uncomfortable and not very safe to me.
oops forgot that part. He had one length of rope from his foot timberhitched to the trunk and another length from his right thight timberhitched to the trunk. No belt lanyard whatsoever:\:
The guys in the DR climbed the palm trees, couldn't see any evidence of gaff marks. One day when I was out of the room my wife had a chance to get some pics.
In this case the guys were getting coconuts.......to sell to the tourists (my wifes cousin, the bride, and her friend)
