Ivar’s Daggers

• Grip & Control: Use a strong pinch grip, keep your arms slightly bent, and engage your core to minimize swinging.
• Momentum & Movement: Move efficiently hand-over-hand without pausing too long—momentum is key.
• Balance & Recovery: If you slip, tighten your grip, bring your knees up slightly for balance, and re-center before continuing.

• Train Your Grip: Dead hangs, towel pull-ups, and rope climbs will help build endurance.
• Optimize Hand Placement: Grab the ropes as high as possible to reduce unnecessary movement.
• Use Chalk If Allowed: Dry hands improve grip—sweaty palms can make this obstacle much harder.

Q: What if I fall?
A: Most races require a retry or a penalty—check event rules in advance.

Q: Do I need upper-body strength?
A: Yes, but technique and grip endurance are just as important.

Q: How can I train for this?
A: Practice grip-switch exercises, rope climbs, and dynamic hanging movements to simulate the obstacle.
