Both Trainers and students perform Belay duty. While Trainers act as the primary belays, students are instructed in basic techniques, and assist as secondaries. It is an obstacle that teaches coordination and balance. The 3 beam climb consists of 3 sections of beam connected by cable. Large steel U-staples provide hand and foot holds.
Students learn to plan ahead, and make on the spot corrections quickly.
Negotiating this event can be tricky, as the beams twist and sway, causing difficulty in finding the next hand-hold. The suspended rope bridge also hangs high up in the air, but affords some hand-holds. Students practice coordination, as well as experience real satisfaction upon crossing this long obstacle. With some obstacles, teamwork is crucial in negotiating it. On this suspended ladder, the rungs' distance between each other gradually increases the higher up one travels.
