For overhead rings, the horizontal distance out to the first handhold, when access is from climbing rungs, should be at least?

  1. 6 inches

  2. 8 inches

  3. 10 inches

  4. 12 inches

The correct answer is: 8 inches

The horizontal distance out to the first handhold for overhead rings should be at least 8 inches. This is because a wider distance allows for a better grip and more stability when reaching for the first handhold. Choosing any other distance, such as 6 inches, may result in a risk of slipping or falling when attempting to reach for the first handhold. Similarly, a distance of 10 or 12 inches may be too far for some people to comfortably reach, making 8 inches the most suitable option.
