Rope Climb

The rope climb is a classic exercise that requires pulling oneself up a vertical rope using only the arms and legs. It is a full-body exercise that primarily targets the upper body, particularly the arms, back, and shoulders. The rope climb is often considered an advanced exercise that requires both strength and technique.
In CrossFit, the rope climb is often used as a challenging upper-body exercise or as part of a high-intensity workout that includes other bodyweight exercises or gymnastics movements. For example, it might be included in a workout that also includes pull-ups, handstand push-ups, and muscle-ups. The rope climb can be modified to suit different fitness levels by adjusting the height of the rope, by using a rope with knots to assist with gripping, or by using a rope climb machine or rope pull-down machine to simulate the movement. It is a challenging exercise that requires proper technique and safety precautions, and it is often taught by a qualified coach.
