About

How it works

What this shows: Our own summary of the wiki page linked below.

Pure endurance: players cling to a vertical pole using only small footholds, without grabbing the top. Whoever is last on the pole wins.

  • PhysicalStrength, speed or stamina decides it
  • EnduranceLast person (or team) still holding on / standing wins

Worth knowing

  • In Cook Islands, Ozzy Lusth outlasted Candice Woodcock after more than two hours in a storm. Source
  • Tai Trang is the only one of Ozzy's 20 opponents across three seasons to outlast him on the pole. Source
