Rope Climb/Rope Slide
The Rope Climb was first introduced during Series 2 of the original UK version. Although the walls used in the American versions included ropes, the Rope Climb consisted of a vertical rope suspended from either a pole on top of the next platform or from the arena ceiling and there was no surface nearby for contenders to use to help pull themselves up the rope. The UK version used the Rope Climb beginning in Series 2 until the original version ended. All versions of the Australian Gladiators have used the Rope Climb. The UK revival uses a Rope Slide in which contenders use a vertical rope to climb down from one platform to another.
