I had to make a trip to Little Rock so I just worked out at my friends gym with some of my old buddies. They are still stuck in the machine leg press rut (which I made fun of them to no end for), so I challenged them to do this workout with me. No rope, so we were going to sub 3 pullups per rope climb. As we were warming up on deadlifts I realized that they could not even lift 200#s off the floor without rounding their back and straining, so they bailed on the workout and went back to pressing 600#s with no range of motion on their machines. Too funny! Before they bailed, I put 285#s on the bar and banged out 15 easy reps before ripping on them some more. I did the rest of the workout after they left. It wasn't timed, but I know it took me a while. I had to run upstairs for the pullups and then go back down for the deadlifts. Oh, and all of my deadlifts were using 245#s and all sets were unbroken! Maybe my grip strength is getting better. The bad news is that my shins look like hell! The bar was really rough and felt like a cheese grater on my legs.

do you have to go to the very top of the rope?? that's a high rope!
Nope, 15 Feet up counts as 1 ascent. To the ceiling is 20 feet.
There is a blue bungee cord on each rope at 15 ft.
Few completed this WOD as Rx'd last time. The scale is pull to standing from a prone position.
Jason, you better get that checked out!
