Tarzan Course?

Post by Guest »

Does anybody know what week you first do the Tarzan Course and how many times do you do it? Also does any one know the highest height on the course? Thank you for your time.

The Tarzan course has to be completed in 13 minutes (includes the assault course and 30 foot wall).

When you see it in real life..........its brown pants time really........... :)

By the time week 26 comes most people are prepared.........

I did use the search but I keept finding different answer including from the link you just posted. The picture of the Tarzan course may be wrong because it says that the death slide is 80ft up which I dont think they would allow and also the RM Software says it 40ft. Quite a few people say that its different heights and I'm looking for an answer from some one that knows for sure. Maybe from a person that is in training or from some that has trained there. The main question I would like answered is what is the number of the week where you first do the Tarzan course? I would also like the other questions answered but my first is the main one.

Lee you start the Commando Phase of training around week 26, this involves practicing the commando tests (all bar the 30 Miler). You will practice the Tarzan course god knows how many times and the other tests to prove you can do it in the right times.

lee, you get your first tarzan acquaint in week 26 just before final ex, then wednesday of week 28 you do the tarzan and endurance in the same day, following friday tarzan again, followed by endurance again on saturday. after that its the real thing in week 31. tarzan starts about 40/50ft up, most of it is about 20ft up. hope this helps

The tarzan course is 30-40 foot high, you don't go near it til after your bottom field pass-out (or close to then anyhow), so well after you're two thirds of the way through training. It's nice looking to the end now, when you get down here it's just a case of digging out til the weekend...another week done :D

Speaking of gym pass-out...we had ours yesterday, Troop Superior, PTI was dead chuffed, reckoned we're the first troop to get it in a long while. I'm pretty sure 874 got it, anyone know if any others who've done it since?
