Here’s the video clip that showcases the tough obstacles on ninja warrior. Cliff Hanger looks like a long campus board traverse, while jumping spider is a really scary way to start a chimney!
The salmon ladder should be at every climbing gym! Watch the clip.
Climbers were showcased on the VHI reality show - The Shot - where photographers vie for the title. One challenge involves rock climbing at Malibu Creek. They were trying to take the best picture that captures the word “intensity.”
Not a lot of great shots, but it was funny watching the photographers struggle with being lowered. I wasn’t watching the show closely, so when they said they had to rappel , I expected them to rappel themselves down. But someone else lowered them. The climbers were top-roping some routes many times.
This year’s Ninja Warrior. looks incredibly tough. There’s an event call the “Jumping Spider” where you run, jump on a little trampoline, and then land in between two walls with your arms and legs spread out so you stick in between (like a chimney climb.)
Another tough one is the salmon run. You hold onto a pole. It’s held up on the left and right side by arms. You need to pull yourself up so the pole skips up to the next set of arms. The last jump is a longer distance. Ouch! I’ll draw a little picture in a bit.
The climber guy did okay, but in general no one did very well in this installment of Ninja warrior.
Here’s a quick article about the climber who won a trip to Japan to be on Ninja Warrior.
We don’t know how well he did, but the shows are airing this month. If you haven’t seen the show, there are a lot of chimney and pull-up moves!
Sorry for the lack of posts! Here’s a cool photo from a store display in Turkey showing bears climbing.
