Spiders Web: which spotting method is specified?

• A. No jumping through web.
• B. No passing over the top of the web.
• C. Set participant safely on ground despite web touches.
• D. Utilise zipper spotting.

Answer: (D)

Spotting for a Spider's Web relies on continuous, coordinated protection as the participant moves along the obstacle. Zipper spotting is the best fit here because it keeps a spotter in near-constant contact with the participant and moves along with them, ready to arrest a slip at any point on the web. This setup minimizes the chance of a fall by seizing the moment a hand or foot loss occurs and provides immediate support without needing to drop to the ground or rely on keeping out of certain areas. The other options describe rules or end-state outcomes rather than how a spotter actively protects someone during the traverse.
