The Wall lasts 60 seconds. 2 Contenders start simultaneously at the base of a wall from a start line. Their objective is to be the first to climb the wall within a 60 second time limit. The Gladiators chase them, trying to prevent them from reaching the top by pulling them off The Wall. If a Gladiator grabs on to a Contender, the Contender may 'shake' any part of their body in an attempt to dislodge the Gladiator. However, kicking is strictly forbidden. All contenders have a 7 second head start over the Gladiators.
Scoring:
* 10 points will be awarded to the first Contender up The Wall.
* 5 points will be awarded if the Contender remains on The Wall for the entire duration of 60 seconds.
* 5 points will be awarded to the second Contender up The Wall.
* In the event of a dead heat 10 points will be awarded to both Contenders.
Trivia:
* When The Wall first appeared in the original Gladiators series, it was thought of as being not challenging enough. So between series 1 & 2, some of the hand grips were removed to make the event tougher.
