Over 50 years old, the infamous "Fan Dance" march is the world's oldest Special Forces test and is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the legendary selection course. The 24km challenge begins with an immediate ascent of Pen y Fan which is 2,907 feet (886m). The route then descends on the other side of the peak before turning around and reversing the route. The return leg provides an even tougher challenge with the evil ascent up the Fan known as Jocob's Ladder
