I am on a palm-thing right now so bare with me, you all. If you don't like palms and won't open your mind to them then I suggest climbing a canary island date palm with its 4 inch spines on the petioles (leaf bases). If this doesn't help, climb the heavily armed Astrocaryum chambira. Maybe this will put some respect in your perspective.
