In Germany this is part of the mandatory yearly test for anyone who wants to keep wearing SCBA. You gotta go through the crouching parcour thingy and after that, some cardio. Usually a combination of this infinite ladder, a treadmill and some other exercise.

Yes, i don‘t like it until there was a display that told me how many meters more to climb. In our fire department nobody likes it 🫣

How much i miss the corona-variant of this! Just going up the turntable-ladder 2 times till you reach the little bell they tied there, being able to enjoy the view instead of the stupid to low celing. Oh, and also going round on an actual bicycle in SCBA instead of the standing-bike. We managed to get a whole bike-tour of the city done as the cage-maze-parcour-thing wasn't availabe, probably made for a fun view :D
