Obstacle 10

This obstacle is called the tiger’s leap. In this, there is a platform with a ladder at a height of about 10
feet and a rope is suspended in front. You are required to go up the platform, take a leap like a tiger,
catch hold of the rope and come down. If you have arm strength this is fairly easy. Hence practice
ropes and do a lot of pushups to develop arm strength. Picture 34 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.

Points to Remember

If you carefully observe the layout of various obstacles you will realize that they are arranged in
clusters. The objective is to score maximum points by repeating high value obstacles. Hence, the
ideal way to approach is to start with high value cluster and go on to do the others and come back to
the high value cluster once again in the end. Never start from obstacle 1 and go on in a sequence

because you will be wasting your time in running crisscross from one end to the other. Attempt
obstacle nos. 3 & 5 later as it takes a lot of time. If you finish the high value obstacles in the beginning
you can come back to this cluster and restart from obstacle no. 10.
