Climb Board

The Climb Board (クライムボード) was the second obstacle in the KUNOICHI 8 Final Stage. It was somewhat similar to the Kabe Nobori, an obstacle which was used in SASUKE 1 and SASUKE 2, and could be seen as an upgraded version of sorts to the Dai Zeppeki of KUNOICHI 6, albeit being shorter by three meters.

The obstacle consisted of two walls that were side-by-side, with the first wall consisting of diagonally-aligned bricks, and the second one using rock-climbing artifacts, with the two walls together totaling a 7-meter climb. Competitors, after completing the brick-climbing wall, would have to transfer sideways to the rock-climbing wall in a manner similar to the Orugōru, before climbing this wall to hit the buzzer and achieve Kanzenseiha. If competitors were to touch the sides of the walls at any point, they would be disqualified.

While a difficult concept in theory, the rather lengthy time limit of 60 seconds, as well as the relative easiness of the preceding obstacle, the Tetsu Bashi, ensured that all three of the competitors who attempted the Climb Board were able to pass, with only Arimatsu Tomomi failing due to disqualification by touching the side of the walls during the transition.

It was removed for KUNOICHI 9, being replaced by a 7-meter variant of the more iconic Tsuna Nobori from the regular SASUKE course.
