Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Mastering the Foot Clamp in Rope Climbs

Today’s focus is on perfecting the foot clamp, a crucial part of the rope climb that allows athletes to stabilize and use their legs to drive up the rope. A strong and secure foot clamp minimizes the strain on the upper body, helping athletes conserve energy while maintaining control during the climb. Properly clamping the rope with the feet will provide a solid base to push from, enabling more efficient climbing.

Look For

  • Rope Climb | While we want a strong foot clamp, we should also aim to tuck the knees as far into the chest as we can to minimize how many pulls we need. 
  • Bike | If we cannot finish our bike calories in time to give us 1 minute of rest before our next round, we should scale the calories.
