Erik’s Trial

• Use Momentum Wisely: Swing fluidly from one hold to the next without stopping.
• Grip Strategy: Keep a relaxed grip until each transition, then squeeze hard for control.
• Legs for Balance: While legs can’t touch early obstacles, use them later for stability.

• Practice Grip Strength: Dead hangs, towel pull-ups, and rope swings improve endurance.
• Controlled Movements: Rushed swings can cause unnecessary twisting and loss of balance.
• Keep Hands Dry: Chalk up if allowed—sweaty palms can lead to slips.

Q: Can I use my feet on any part?
A: Only on the ropes and pipes—rings and bars must be traversed with hands only.

Q: What if I touch the bell but it doesn’t ring?
A: You must try again before your feet touch the ground, or the obstacle is failed.

Q: How do I prepare for this?
A: Train with monkey bars, rope swings, and dynamic grip-switching exercises.
