    The big difference between that and the horizontal ladder is that instead of going from rung to rung, you have to take the rung with you and bridge a pretty big gap. I can see how that would be hard. You not only have to jump the bar, you have to get the distance right. I think it would be very difficult.

    I always thought the horizontal ladder was a good part of the PT test. I could never figure out what they were actually testing with the inverted crawl though. I never saw any sense at all in that.

    We used to have contests to see how many rungs we could jump. The smallest guys always kicked ass on that.

    I started out bar hopping. By the end of the evening it was more like a pub crawl.
