The Areca Tree Climbing event in Bondowoso takes place on Independence Day and is part of the commemoration activities, the successful climbers who reach the top are rewarded with a choice of free gifts. Bondowoso, Indonesia. 17/12/09.

The Areca Tree Climbing event takes place on Independence Day in Indonesia and is part of the commemoration activities. On December 17, 2009 the Bondowoso District Government held The Areca Tree Climbing to also commemorate the Islamic New Year 1431 Hijri.

The Areca tree was selected as a means of climbing competitions because of its height and is coated in grease to make it slippery. At the top of the ten metre trees are a selection of presents for the climber to choose from and the appeal of free gifts seems to outweigh the potential dangers face by each climber.
