The Grip-saving Way To Rope Climb

“Today we're working on rope-climb efficiency that goes beyond the basics of the best way to wrap your feet.”
Get your legs to do the bulk of the work and save your grip with a new way to rope climb.
Laurie Galassi, CF-L3 and co-owner of CrossFit Santa Cruz, demonstrates this helpful and efficient technique.

[@user-md4mw3rq5e]

i just learned how to rope climb and this video really helped thanks!

[@ryankendall522]

More media like this please!!

[@mrpawka]

We'd been doing that in the USMC for years!!

[@JonBondgsr]

Yeah, I always thought that was how it was done.

[@mrpawka]

@@JonBondgsr Yeah, they taught us how to do that. The dominant foot gets tired, but the upper body doesnt get fatigued at all.

[@Felicia-cd7nx]

Makes sense. Thanks

[@mwbeck]

This is new? (Edit- new was taken out of the title)

[@Fikowski]

Rich Froning used this style of foot clamp in 2011

[@paulmarso1220]

No, I named it the lazy J 42 years ago

[@WayneGlass1]

Nope lol

[@jakestasil5506]

No

[@xuover]

For her

[@shiplesp]

I learned this in gym class in the 1960s ;)

[@matthewpearson1760]

Awesome for all of your

[@CrossFitMagni]

This is the first time CrossFit media has put this style out. So yeah, new in that regard. Doesn’t mean others haven’t done it before. Same with the CrossFit methodology. It was “new” in 2001, doesn’t mean someone wasn’t implementing things like that before. Bunch of hypercritical people out here need to spend less time in comments and more time helping others

[@Faluuuja]

For faster descent at the top just let go.

[@mrpawka]

Nah, Bruh! You'll burn your palms up! 🤣🤣🤣

[@gunstrain8228]

I’ve been rope climbing like this since military class… like 11 years ago ?

[@briangault5090]

I haven't got the confidence to release both hands lol

[@TheHazchic]

😂 That is the way I learned 8 years ago

[@btoreyes1969]

This isn't new. It's been used in the Tactical Game for a long time now.

[@robgronkowski947]

I'm shocked because CrossFitters have climbing like this a decade+

[@jorgeolimpia81]

Clickbait... 😢

[@mangoauto8450]

A new video not a new technique
