The most impressive is the springboard event: competitors make two notches in a trunk placed vertically. This allows them to insert two planks, which they use as a springboard to reach a log at the top of the trunk.
No wasteof wood!
All the wood used for the competition will be chipped on site and used to supply the local heating systems.
