Rope Ladder
The rope ladder was originally introduced as a penalty obstacle for falling off the Spinning Cylinder, but in the Australian Revival, a rope ladder is used as a standard obstacle between the quarterpipe and the zipline. Prior to climbing the Wire Ladder (as it is called on the show) challengers are hooked into a safety harness by spotters. When they reach the top, they must unhook themselves, which has cost several challengers time and possibly the race due to being unable to unhook themselves quickly.
