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.

But little time had they to pray
For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
And what, God help us, could they save?”

A star, contracted in a diamond,”

Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
