Click here for a fabulous tutorial on rope-climbing. Most specifically, it discusses and demonstrates EACH method, which I found useful. My preferred and most confident method is a variation of the gym method, but it is still the most ineffective and most grip/upper-body taxing of the methods. In my quest for efficiency in functional movements, my goal is to master the Navy Seals “brake and squat” method.

Cheers to all who grow to love the rope; I have no doubt it will happen after a few ascents!
