Scherri-Lee Biggs signed off from the Today Show on Friday after filling in for regular weather anchor Tim Davies for six weeks.
The popular fill-in presenter ended her run with a live cross from a climbing gym in Condell Park, Sydney, where she attempted to scale a Ninja Warrior-inspired contorted wall.
The 32-year-old, dressed in red leggings and a white T-shirt, slammed into the wall as a group of kids cheered her on from the sidelines.

When she got to the top, she was unable to climb onto the platform and soon slid down the wall, rolling onto her back.
Scherri-Lee didn’t seem too discouraged, however, and had a big smile on her face as she spoke with Brooke Boney and Alex Cullen in the studio.
Brooke said she’s been “an absolute delight” over the past six weeks, adding that the Today show crew is sad to see her return to Perth.

“Good luck and thank you for joining us over the summer,” she said.
Alex also gave her props for “pulling into everything” — including activities she found daunting due to her fear of heights.

Brooke, 35, told her she “just filmed her last traverse” after refusing to jump off a platform at an indoor climbing center because she was afraid of heights.
“I’m so nervous, I don’t think I can do it. I’m shaking, I can’t,” screamed Scherri-Lee as she stood on the platform.
“Go, go, come on Scherri, you can do this!” Brooke said, as her co-host Alex added, “We’re not leaving until you do.”
A terrified Scherri-Lee replied, “I can’t do it… I’ll climb down.”

After climbing back onto the floor, Brooke jokingly told viewers that Scherri-Lee was fired from the show.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to say it’s been great working with you, Scherri-Lee Biggs,” she began.
“She took some time off to spend with her family. I don’t think she’ll be with us tomorrow because she didn’t rise to the occasion.’
