The Taki Kudari (滝下り) was a First Stage obstacle in the first two SASUKE tournaments. Placed right before Free Climbing, it was a vertical log that the competitor slid down onto a mat. Some contestants bypassed it all together and just jumped from the platform above. It was removed in favor of the Tarzan Jump/Rope Climb combination in SASUKE 3.
This obstacle was originally called the Maruta Kudari (丸太下り) in SASUKE 1. Its name was switched with another obstacle's in SASUKE 2.
This was not considered an official obstacle by TBS or G4, but rather part of the path to Free Climbing. G4 did not even give it a name, choosing to lump it in with Free Climbing (or the Mountain Climb, as they called it).
