One of the more difficult obstacles here – reminds me of Ninja Warrior. Especially hard if your calves are dead by this time (11 miles in). Turn up the sound near end of vid to hear the tip – it’s a calf killer

This obstacle seems to vary depending on the course. For Norcal Tahoe 2012, this obstacle was above water w/ the top of the wall out of reach. You had a 2×4 for the 1st and last thirds, but the middle third was narrower. Pick the side of the wall that is perfectly vertical or at least not overhanging. It is smarter to avoid the traffic jam thereby reducing your wait time on the wall. If you have any hope of finishing, follow someone who is faster than you or simply wait for the person in front to almost finish. Don’t inch along the beam, but reach out far while still in control and go as fast as possible. Where the toe holds are super narrow (and especially if they’re wet) don’t even bother relying on them – just smear as much as you can and crimp the rail as hard as you can. Climbing strength helps here. Also straighten your arms and lower your body if your biceps are aching. You really only need your fingertips here.
