An
exercise apparatus invented, installed, and demonstrated in images below by Andrew
Maxwell (and a rather agile 8-year-old kid)
Below is a small sample
of the poses I have developed. The possibilities
for stretching and strength-building are practically
infinite.

Predecessor
The
original monkey gym installed in the summer of 1996 at Art City in Ventura, CA,
consisted of hundreds of feet of used polyester nautical rope (for tying large
freighter ships to docks) tied up randomly between a group
of three eucalyptus trees. It was
like a spider web. It burned, along
with 1/3 of Art City, in December 1998.
