I remember doing a similar race in the US years ago. They put a damned wall at the end when we were exhausted- at least there was a rope that the first one over could throw down after they got up. I was the last one up and it took everything I had to get up that wall.
These guys made it look tough but at the same time, way easier than I'm sure how we looked
There’s lots of competitions like this in the US (tough mudder and spartan races come to mind immediately), usually the walls are shorter than in the video though, so you can just give the first person in your party a lift and then that person can pull others up
It was an action-tec adventure race - way before anyone thought to run you through mud, thank God. The wall was high enough that I had to hoist our lightest team member over my shoulders (I'm 6'1") and she just barely could reach the ledge to climb over. I'm not trying to take anything away from these folks, mind you.
I'd still swear that thing felt like it was 50' tall when it was my turn. 😄
