I have shelved up training for a while. Ace Adventure Challenge is just round the corner. Everything seems going fine but somehow, I still wished I have another week to work on details.  In the midst of drawing out all my gadgets like the climbing & abseiling ropes, the biners, check point signages, reflective tapes and so on, I realized I have misplaced the four precious rope ladders I built. Panic button activated!  

As I danced on the hot pan, one good friend introduce a new toy to me.

I tried climbing on it, it is really not an easy task. It is similar to those SOC ropes course that the army guys used to train on, like those knotted ropes. But for this, it is the horizontal stick that the climber could stand on (provided you step on the two corners with good balance, else you’ll slip), next, it is all about arm power. Somehow, even when you have a good placing on the rungs, you will still need a considerable exertion of the arms. This is worst than the rope ladders I have. Anyone keen to try it?
