This obstacle is called the double ditch. In this, there are two ditches — first a
long one and then a short one. These ditches are separated by a flat surface in
between. The longer ditch has a rope hanging in the middle. You are
expected to come running from a little distance, take a jump and hold the

rope. Due to inertia, you will swing farther. On reaching the flat surface
separating both the ditches, you must leave the rope and land. Thereafter,

take a second jump and cross the smaller ditch. Remember, you are not
permitted to first take the rope and then swing. You have to come running
from a distance and take a jump to grasp the rope. Picture 32 provides a view

of this obstacle. For lady candidates, this obstacle is optional, which means
that if this obstacle is not attempted, no adverse view is taken.

Obstacle 9

This obstacle is called the commando walk. In this, there is a narrow plank

with a victory stand in the middle, fixed at a height of about 10 feet. On
either side there is a ladder. You can climb the ladder from either side, walk
on the narrow plank, climb on the victory stand and come down from the
other side. The sides of the ramp and the victory stands are painted red.

Hence, do not touch the sides and walk straight on it. Do not look down.
Keep looking at your own height. Picture 33 provides a view of this obstacle.
