Obstacle 5
In this obstacle there are two ropes fixed parallel to each other at a height of roughly 15 feet above
the ground. There are ladders on both sides and also two ropes hanging on either side which you can
use to go up. You can either use the rope or the ladder to go up. Upon reaching the top, you are
expected to hold the top rope and walk on the bottom rope. Once you cross the distance you can once
again either use the ladder or the rope to come down. Please remember, unless you are very fit and
have practiced rope climbing, 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 may be 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.
