OBSTACLE INSIDER: The rarest obstacle in Spartan history

The first thing you need to know about the Ape Hanger is that it’s one of the rarest — and most difficult — obstacles on the race course.

Next, it’s a three-part challenge.
Step 1: Jump to and climb up a rope hanging over muddy water.
Step 2: Using only your hands, climb up and down an angled monkey bar ladder.
Step 3: RING THAT BELL and drop into the water below.

Last thing you must know: you can race the Ape Hanger THIS weekend at Palmerton.
