Question: What other exercises, besides climbing, can I use my ropes for?

Answer:

Rope training can be divided into four distinct areas:

  • 1. Climbing - pretty self explanatory


  • 2. Static work - usually performed when an attachment point is too low to allow for climbing, these are exercises such as pullups. "laybacks" and hanging leg raises


  • 3. Dynamic work - exercises performed by hooking the rope to an apparatus such as an overhead pulley


  • 4. Pulling and dragging - performed by attaching the rope to a moveble weight, usually a sled or vehicle


  • We hope to have a full rope training course which will cover each area in much greater detail ready shortly.
