Tropical biologists maintain recently came to realize that the access to the rain forest canopy provides a wealth of fresh new possibilities. Canopy studies have been reviewed by Nadkarni (1988a), Wilson (1991), Lowman and Moffett (1993), and Moffett (1993), and are hastily expanding. This discipline has been restricted by the old techniques in order to reach the treetops. Perry pioneered the purpose of "single rope technique" to climbing trees and this practice has been described in the course of several documents (Perry 1978, Perry & Williams 1981, Whitacre 1981, Mitchell 1982, Nadkarni 1988b). A variety of other methods are, in addition, being utilized in favor of safely reaching the canopy, such as
