Kong Vault

The Kong Vault (also originally known as the Cat Pass) is a vault used in parkour for moving over an object and gaining distance. It is an advanced variation of the monkey vault. Kongs are useful for moving over long objects, such as large barriers.

The same movement can be used to move over rails and fences. Kong Vaults are commonly used for distance and power, instead of speed. Though they take extra time to learn, they are one of the most common and should be trained early on. There are a number of variations of the Kong Vault.

Take note that when you use the Kong Vault, you have to dive towards the obstacle the Kong Vault will be performed on such as a picnic bench.
