How to do the Rope Climb

  1. 1

    Grab the rope with both hands above your head. Pull down on the rope as you take a small jump.

  2. 2

    Wrap the rope around one leg, using your feet to pinch the rope. Reach up as high as possible with your arms, gripping the rope tightly.

  3. 3

    Release the rope from your feet as you pull yourself up with your arms, bringing your knees towards your chest.

  4. 4

    Resecure your feet on the rope, and then stand up to take another high hold on the rope. Continue until you reach the top of the rope.

  5. 5

    To lower yourself, loosen the grip of your feet on the rope as you slide down using a hand over hand motion.
