I was watching the CrossFit Games the other weekend when I saw the final event - the rope climb. It proved challenging to many competitors.
For those that have never tried it, climbing a rope with your hands and feet is a lot more technical than you might think.
In this video I go over several different ways to climb a rope, and how to train for it.
I hope you find this useful for your training. Stay safe and good luck!

Bonus: Check out another rope climbing video from 2006 where I climb up with 60 lbs around my waist! (Strangely enough, I'm wearing the same outfit...) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SArLgOOVXRg
