Thanks Razor

Thanks for pointing that out Razor,

To clarify the post. Rope climbing is more technique then Physical strength. Hence why you can achieve most of your rope climbing strength requirements thru your normal workout.

So you don't need to go around climbing 30 foot ropes like an animal. Instead get a 12-15 foot rope and climb it nice and slow and master the technique. It's also safer. Even a controlled 30 foot fall is still a fall.

Thanks again Razor
