This is a great WOD to get better at climbing the rope. If you are not great at it, that shouldNOT prevent you from coming. Instead, that should be the reason you climb out of bed and roll in at 0530.

I'm gonna bail on the morning crew so I'm fresh for my 10 minute swim test for Survival Swimming... but i'll make it up in the afternoon. Looks like fun !
B&G -- need some help subbing for rope climbs. Sadly, no ropes (yet) at my Aberdeen gym...

Small crew this morning. Missed you all who weren't there!
12:38...inspiring effort JWM!

Towel pullups is the consensus best substitute. For more realism, alternate one hand high, one hand low on the towel. Some folks do towel pulldowns, as well. Standard rope length is 15', and standard substitution is 15 towel pulls. (from the main site)

DUs were easy, rope climbs were not. Hands and forearms smoked.
@jswobe, I've seen several folks mention that towel pull-ups (I believe 6:1 or more) are about the only sub you can do for rope climbs.
WOD (F) - I think I made it to the top of the rope 3 times. Total goat on the rope climb. I did walk away with a renewed motivation to improve my rope climbs.
Bonus: Discovered that I am taking an extra jump between double unders. I also add that to the list of exercises to improve.
14:03 with single unders. One broken shoe to remember today's WOD.
Double unders are in the works.

My forearms were smoked on the rope climbs.
Changed the workout slightly b/c couldn't wait for rope time and didn't have a towel.

Towel pull-ups and K2Es would have been a better sub than what I did. Damn.
Next time, next time.
Thanks again, B&G!
