Obstacle description: 

There have been a few different versions of this obstacle. In early competitions it was the first and longest obstacle, sometimes taking as much as half of the alloted time for the second stage. The obstacle required the competitor to pin themselves between two parallel walls and traverse it without touching the ground. A segment in the middle moved up and down, which usually required a shift in direction. Later, it was shortened to five large sets of panels, each of which moved independently of the others. In the version used from the 7th to the 17th Competition, the competitor must use his hands and feet to climb up, across, and back down two parallel walls. A can of adhesive spray is available at the start of the obstacle. Bare hands must be used or the contestant will be disqualified.
