Black Quadrant

BLACK QUADRANT

The black quadrant consists of the following obstacles.

HIGH STEP OVER

Soldiers step over each bar: they either alternate legs or use the same leg each time while making an effort not to use their hands. (Shorter Soldiers may be required to use hands). Soldiers must be spaced so as to prevent kicking each other.

LOW WIRE

Soldiers move forward on their backs while at the same time raising the wire with their hands so their bodies will clear the wire. They continuing moving forward in this manner until they reach end of the obstacle.

SWING, STOP, AND JUMP

Soldiers gain momentum with a short run, grasp the rope, and swing their bodies forward to the top of the wall. They release the rope while standing on the wall and jump to the ground.

SIX VAULTS

Soldiers vault over each log using one or both hands.

EASY BALANCER

Soldiers walk up one incline log and down the one on the other side to the ground. Running is not encouraged (Figure E-9).
