do not use the rope to go up. If you have sufficient arm strength, use the rope
to come down as it will save a lot of time. Remember, you have only three
minutes to complete all the ten obstacles and maybe repeat a few. While
doing this obstacle, do not look down; instead, keep looking at the finish

point. Also, walk sideways to get a firm grip on the rope. Picture 29 provides
a view of this obstacle.

Obstacle 6

This obstacle is called Tarzan’s swing. In this, there is a platform with a
ladder at about 8 feet height and a rope hanging from top. You are expected
to climb the ladder and reach the platform. Upon reaching there, the free end

of the rope is handed over to you by the groundsman. You are required to
hold the rope as high as possible, take a swing like Tarzan and land beyond a

particular point without touching the ground. The point is indicated by two
red bricks placed on either side. An imaginary line joining the two red bricks
is the area of clearance. In this, you must stretch yourself high and take a
strong grip of the rope before taking the swing. As soon as you take the

swing, fold both your legs upwards or else your feet will invariably touch the
ground. Picture 30 provides a view of this obstacle.

Obstacle 7

The seventh obstacle is called the double platform jump. In this, there are two

platforms; one at a height of about 10 feet and the other at a height of about 5
