The Challenge

Welcome to Africa Part 2 (14x2)

Air date: Apr 10, 2007

Players from each team have to race a ladder up and down a two-story, 40-foot tower as fast as possible. First, each player will race 20 yards to the base of the tower, then use the ladder to climb to the second story, and raise their ladder to the stop of their designated towers in order to climb to the top. Next, each player will use their ladder as a "bridge" to advance from one tower to another, then race back down an adjacent tower by using their ladder to downclimb to the second story, and finally back to ground level, then race back 20 yards to the beginning of the course. One player at a time races against a player from the opposite team – guys vs. guys and girls vs. girls, with a 15-minute time limit. If a player drops a ladder, or falls off the ladder, a 2-minute penalty will be added to the team's slowest time. The team with the fastest combined time wins.
