The Wipeout Wall

**The Wipeout Wall** was the third obstacle in the Wipeout Zone in Series 1.

It consists of a 5-meter long wall that has rock climbing holds in it. Water falls down the wall from above. Competitors must attempt to traverse the wall without losing there grip and/or being pushed down by the water torrents, falling into the water below. If a competitor fails this obstacle, they must climb up the ladder directly underneath the wall to get themselves back up onto the course.
