  • Angled Rope Climbing

    • Angled Rope ClimbingAngled Rope ClimbingAnother training option for using climbing ropes is to climb on an angle. While this exercise still builds upper body and grip strength it stresses these muscle groups in a whole new way than traditional up-and-down rope climbing.

    This rope climbing exercise is also especially useful if your ceilings are not very high.

    William Bankier aka "The Scottish Herculese" used angled rope climbing specifically to build his biceps.

    It was said that his only bicep exercise was a single ascending and descending of an angled 30-foot climbing rope.
