One of complicated stages of the race – a long, 200 meters length, air crossing over a bay from one shore to the other side. A cable will be strung between the coast of the small cape and the upper part of a rock massif. The crossing must be performed from the bottom up. Competitors move up the cable by a roller using ascenders on a rope parallel to the cable.

Photo made on the starting point. View on the rocks where finish of the crossing will be placed.

Rock massif height – 40 m.

Width of Bay: distance from the shore of the cape to the base of the bluff on an island – 100 m.

Total length of the cable, including whipping – approximately 200 m.

Photo made from the high point – the finish point of the crossing. View down to the starting point of the crossing on the cape.

The first team member will have to overcome the entire crossing on their own by sliding on the cable while jummaring up the pull rope. Equipment will be available to allow the first person crossing to pull fellow team members up the cable with an auxillary line.

Teams that are not prepared to overcome the 200 meter inclined crossing can go around the coast along the bay and climb a 40 m vertical rail using ascenders.

Teams that chose to make the cable crossing over water are recommended to train before the race and work out their crossing technique.
