Today we will meet up in the '62 Room and then move up to Hayes Gym for a rope climbing demo and chance to practice.

Equipment needed:  wear your old beat up shoes or bring your boots if you prefer.

Teaching & practice (10 minutes) Rope climbing demo and scaling options (Matt).  Everyone gets a chance to practice for a bit before we get after it!

WOD

This WOD was made up last year in honor of Hurricane Irene that rocked the area.  It's not an official named WOD, but a good chance to check your progress.

"Irene"

AMRAP 15
Rope climb (15')

Use any climbing technique you'd like to reach the 15' mark.

Beginner: if you are unable to climb a rope, spend this time practicing your technique.
Intermediate: Start from the standing position.
Advanced: Start from a seated position.

Compare to: 29 AUGUST 2011

19, which was 4 more than last time. I feel as though my technique improved a lot and I wasn't nearly as tired as last time.

It was great to see a big group in there this morning - great job by our new rope climbers!!

Mickey - I did the same thing..while wearing boots!
