Overhang Transition

The Overhang Transition is a notorious spot for deaths as it is the first obstacle where skill is a major factor. It requires a good knowledge of Ladder Transitioning to pass.

The problem arises at the top, where the vertical ladder transitions to a horizontal ladder under an overhang. Inexperienced climbers are not able to successfully traverse the transition and fall to their deaths below. It can be a spot of holdups and it is advised to practice the Three-second Rule.
