Objective

The Gladiator and Contender begin on the whistle by running down a run-way which leads to individual 10.4 metre Poles. Once at the Poles they must begin to climb to the top. The Poles revolve and climbing struts protrude on a spiral route up the Pole. The first to climb to the top of the pole hits a button which retracts the other opponents climbing struts, leaving them descending on a safety harness to the arena floor and 'Pole-Axed'.
