The cut lumber is behind the sticks in the last frame. Both sticks and cut lumber are visible in the cage images.

If the final part of this challenge is a group hug on the top of that platform, then Malakal would be at a handicap with Cirie's . . . ummmm crosssectional area . . . (it would have been the same 'problem' with Joel, and probably really funny to watch the two of them try it . . ) compared to all the skinny Airies. The promo of Ami considering a jump also points to a Malakal IC loss.
