Real Life Tarzan Teaches Tree Climbing
Leo Urban, who's known for his tree top parkour, teams up with Magnus Midtbø for a day in the woods

Magnus Midtbø teams up with “real life Tarzan” Leo Urban to learn about the proper ways to climb trees. The two-part series is broken into an introduction about moving through trees, and demonstrations of expert level tree climbing abilities.
Tarzan of the Apes was a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912 about an orphaned boy who learned how to navigate through tree tops. Leo Urban was a professional runner who competed in Ninja Warrior Spain and Ultimate Beastmaker before taking his talents to the trees.
And yes, while Urban goes barefoot, Midtbø straps on the sticky rubber for the more technical tree climbs.
