Excellent.
Now, if I weighed 565kg, how many joules or watts would it take to lift me
from one branch to another, assuming I grabbed the new branch with both
clenched feet first go ?
How much would I need to eat to generate the right amount of joules/watts.
Note: I mustn't lose my sombrero in the process.
1 HP= 746 watts
 
My guess, about 600HP. Even then I'd need three goes.
